Edgar Meyer is the undisputed maestro on double bass, which he preferrably plays con arco (with a bow). Besides the 5 strings, the lowest string was also increased to be able to reach deeper. Chris Thile is an undisputed maestro as well, although his instrument – the mandolin – is one of the smallest string instruments. Both gentlemen recently released their second CD with self-composed duets, which border the various areas of jazz, country, folk and classical music.
