Twenty Studies for Upright Bass (Book + Online Audio)

Written in standard bass clef notation only, many of these pieces can be played either bowed or pizzicato, and so lend themselves to the electric bass as well. Expert online recordings by Robbe Desmet, one of Europe’s premiere young upright bassists, complete the package.
