The Effect of Three Methods of Supporting the Double Bass on Muscle Tension.
Dennis, Allan
Journal of Research in Music Education, v32 n2 p95-103 Sum 1984
Using different methods of holding the double bass, college students performed Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. Audio recordings of performance were rated. Muscle tension readings from the left arm, right arm, upper back, and lower back were taken, using electromyography. Results suggest nonsignificant differences in both performance quality and muscle tension. (Author/RM)
