The Brescian Bass Trilogy: Part I - The Gothenburg Opera Bass

Welcome to the first episode of The Brescian Bass Trilogy! Join Elinore Morris as she explores a unique double bass crafted in Brescia during the 1500s, now played at the Gothenburg Opera.

In this episode,  Elinore introduces her unique approach to understanding the geometry behind these historical instruments. By analyzing shapes and curves like the Euler spiral (or clothoid curve), she begins to uncover the secrets of how these masterpieces were crafted. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes, where this fascinating geometric exploration will deepen!
