Mohrs: Daumenlage / Thumb Poisition (Double Bass)

The introduction to the upper registers opens the door to advanced double-bass literature and expressive solo playing. With the volume Daumenlage [Thumb position], learning is easy and fun. Using many well-known songs and pieces, the fingering positions can be easily memorised and the intonation can be easily controlled. The progressively arranged playing scores with their wide range of styles are accompanied by technical exercises and valuable information.
