PROUD TO OFFER:
"THE ORCHESTRA AUDITION
HOW TO PREPARE "


As Associate Concertmaster with the Minnesota Orchestra, I have developed somewhat of a niche over the years, specializing in coaching musicians for positions in Symphony Orchestras. I have helped musicians earn positions in all levels of the profession, from the largest major orchestras to community orchestras. The players all come with different goals, but the process of preparing for the “big day” is pretty much the same. This book was purposely written to apply to ALL INSTRUMENTS OF THE ORCHESTRA– when it comes to this process, we really have more in common than you may think. It has been at the urging of both my students and my colleagues at Kairos Publications, that I have finally decided to combine the information I have been teaching in my coaching sessions and seminars for years, and lay it out in a logical and step-by-step written form. The result is a book with answers to the most common questions concerning the audition process for the Symphony Orchestras of today!
Roger Frisch

This bass is very easy to play and projects well in all registers.

I have used this bass on many professional engagements, including concerts with the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra and Ron Paley Big Band. Also, it was rented out to a number of visiting artists for the 2008 Winnipeg Jazz Festival, many of who commented favourably on this instrument.

Currently strung with Tomastik Spirocore strings. Includes Realist pickup and a nearly new Ritter bass bag.

This would be a great bass for an advancing student or professional.

Carefully examine the surface and make sure it fits together.

Clean both sides with acetone and let it dry.

Remove nut.

Find a way to clamp the broken pieces without glue.

Prepare epoxy glue according to the product's instructions. I suggest using “5 min epoxy” and test the glue to make sure it sets properly.

Apply a small amount of glue on both sides and clamp the broken pieces together.

Drill 2 holes as shown on the picture with out going through and thread them. (a special long type of screw threader might be needed).

Make special screws from threaded rod and try to insert them with a screwdriver. They must go in very easily and hide just below nut.

Take them out, apply a small amount of epoxy glue inside the holes and on the thread of the screws, and screw them back in.

Clean and glue back the nut.

This method does NOT guaranty 100% success but it has worked for me most of the time.

This white bass was built by Mr. Xue Chang Sun in China, according to my
specifications.
To achieve a good result you must start with the best possible high-end
white instrument.
Final "tuning "must be done with a full setup before the varnish can be
applied.
Pictures (WB1-WB11) shows how to glue the fingerboard, install the endpin,
and tuning machines.
After making the instrument playable, you will arrive at the most
important function - fine-tuning of the plates - front and back.
One person must play a note loudly, while another person lightly touches
the vibrating plate looking for spots which are vibrating considerably
less. (WB 14).
Very good results are achieved by playing in the upper part of the E
string.
With a small plane, a minimal amount of wood can be taken off in the
places that are vibrating a little less and places you are sure are part
of some vibrating pattern (WB13).
This process is quite slow and require between 5-10 hours. Using common
sense is necessary.
After you are satisfied with the sound, and most of notes are of the same
strength, you can dismantle the setup and tuning machines and prepare for
varnishing.
The neck should be stained with a special neck stain available in a
luthier supply store (WB15)
Smooth out the surface, prepare the watercolor to be similar to the color
of coffee and milk (WB16) and apply to the bass (WB17-18).
Next - apply 2 coats of ground varnish.
To make your bass look older, corners and other places can be darkened
with a brown - black watercolor by using a cloth and small brush (WB19)
Airbrush a coat of alcohol based varnish of your choice.
After a few days, the varnish should be sanded with light oil and 600
grade sandpaper, followed by good coat of "French polish".

I have successfully made a few very good instruments this way but I am not
responsible for any damages or losses associated with the content of this text.
The price of a finished bass like this is around $ 12.000.00 (
