Why does it have 3 strings? I mean, besides that it's the Octo Bass, and can have as many damn strings it wants
(I can't watch the video here, if it says on that)
Can anyone play it there, or is it something no-one can touch, like a normal museum? I remember seeing a bunch of instruments at the Boston MFA when I was there, a million years ago (including a 6-string bass, I joked that it was for the show-off in the orchestra who slapped, but none of the people I was with got it)
