Building a Double Bass with Elinore Morris and Magnus Bergström

Today we meet the wonderful bass maker and luthier Elinore Morris in her beautiful workshop just outside of Gothenburg in Sweden. It was amazing to meet her, explore the workshop and hear some of her amazing hand crafted double basses. In this video, we talk to both Elinore and bass player Magnus Bergström about the process of commissioning an instrument. Elinore and Magnus worked together closely to make a beautiful double bass for Magnus and we hear all about how that worked. We also get a chance to hear the bass that is only 9 days old at the time of filming! It's an essential watch for anyone who is interested in the bass making process.
