Don't discount, too, the usefulness of a table. It _does_ help in the
forward projection and, moreover, in the ringing of the basses.

Every time I'm in this position (and it happens remarkably often, even
when playing amplified electric bass!) I am minded of Peter Schikele's

As Peter Schickle (PDQ Bach) says in the introduction to his duet for
lute and bagpipe, When the bagpipe plays, you won't be able to hear the
