Hello,

I am a musician coming to travel and play in Yunnan, and was hoping to meet some local musicians!

I am also in the market for a double bass, does anyone attend the music school in Kunming?

I'd love to chat!

Thanks, Miranda.

Hi Miranda,

My name is Rusty and I am also a bass player. I have a friend who has 2 double basses but I'm not sure where he got them. If you want I can put you guys in touch.

Have you arrived in Kunming yet? Would be cool to hang out.

Rusty

Hi Rusty!

I'm here now, just arrived a few days ago. I'm trying to buy a bass in the next few days, so it'd be great to catch up and find out any tips for bass hunting...

Thanks!

Miranda.

Hello Miranda and Rusty!

I am also a double bass player and maybe i'm moving to kunming this summer. I would like to know about living as musician in Kunming. I have a solo project, singing and play some kind of jazz, bossa nova... But I would like to work with other musicians (also sing and play the guitar). Is there a "market" for this music in Kunming? How about getting a visa? How do you guys feel in Kunming? Any sugestion about how to get a job and have the proper visa so I can work as a musician?
Hope to meet you there, about the end of july...

Cheers

Hi Jorge!

I'm not the best person to ask about the Kunming scene, as I'm living out of Lijiang.

However, I seem to have purchased the only bass in Kunming, and will be wanting to sell it on in Late July, early August!

So if you weren't planning to fly with yours... maybe we can make a deal!

Good luck with all your research!

Miranda.

Hello!

I'm thinking about traveling in August, like the 9th...

Don't know if you still there... How's that bass? Does it sound good? Is it easy to play? Do you have a price in mind?

If you prefer to chat by mail: edu.gorca@gmail.com

How do you fell being a musician in china? What kind of music do you play?

Cheers
