Workshop: Making a Martin Concert 4/4 Double Bass Ep 4, Fitting the Bass Bar

The fourth episode in our Marking a Martin Concert series. Now that the front and back of this double bass have been graduated, we begin the process of fitting the bass bar. As each instrument is different, we carefully choose the appropriate wood to complement the body of the double bass — in this case matching a light body with a hard bass bar.
