Ich hatte immer den Plan, meine verschiedenen Arbeiten zu veröffentlichen. Falls dies nicht kostenlos möglich sein sollte, dann aber so günstig wie möglich. So enthält dieser Bereich eine kleine Anzahl der Artikel und Besprechungen, welche ich über die letzten dreißig Jahre geschrieben bzw. ausgegeben habe. An diesem Punkt sei angemerkt, das viele dieser Arbeiten, wie mein ächzender Körper, alt und unzuverlässig sind. Folglicherweise, trotz aller Bemühungen bei der Erstellung dieses Bereiches, enthalten die Schriften natürlich viele Fehler. Deshalb sollte der Inhalt sehr behutsam betrachtet werden. Dies gilt besonders für die älteren Artikel, welche einfach im Zustand ihrer Erstausgabe reproduziert wurden. Weder ich noch meine beitragenden Artikelschreiber übernehmen die Verantwortung für Verluste, welche von alten oder neuen Informationen oder Meinungen herrühren, die hier veröffentlicht werden. Einige der Ideen und Informationen wurden ersetzt durch fortführende Forschungen und Entwicklungen. (Ich habe versucht für diese Fälle ein Literaturverzeichnis mit weitergehenden Informationen einzufügen) Dessen ungeachtet glaube ich, das diese Artikel trotzdem von beträchtlichem Nutzen sind. Aus logistischen Gründen ist es nicht möglich, alle meine Illustrationen zu reproduzieren. So ist der der Text für eine Serie von Postern eingeschränkt worden, welche ich für das Strad-Magazin entworfen habe. Da diese Poster mit einer oder zwei Ausnahmen noch verfügbar sind, verzichte ich hier auf den im Original vorzufindenden Begleittext.

| Making a Double Bass | |||||
|
This is an edited and extended version of a blog that was written on the website ‘Maestronet’. It documents the making of a Double Bass by René Zaal and Roger Hargrave. This article explores the design making and varnishing of a double bass, but it also includes several sections relating to violin/viola making and varnishing. This article is extremely large. It contains 371 photographs and more than 24000 words. Consequently it may present some problems for those wishing to download it. For this reason I have provided three downloading possibilities. The first offers a quicker download, but the photo quality is compromised. The second possibility offers better images, but it will take longer to download and it may tax slower systems. Please note that although anyone is free to download this article, a licensing agreement applies.
