Improving the Sound of Bass Strings with Clive Titmuss

Clive Titmuss shows you how to improve the sound of open bass strings using whipping cord - it works on gut and overspun strings as well. Solve "inharmonicity", the tendency that the string has to produce frequencies unrelated to the fundamental, with a supplemental whipping at the nut. Paper or parchment may be used for the same purpose on thinner strings, and whipping is best for thick strings, such as these carbon-fibre harp strings. Our music is widely available on digital providers such as Youtube, Google, Amazon, Spotify and iTunes.
