The International Society of Bassists Musical Instrument Program

The Karr-Koussevitzky Bass

The Karr-Koussevitzky Bass was owned and played by
ISB founder Gary Karr for 40 years. Just as he was gifted
with the bass by Olga Koussevitzky, widow of Serge
Koussevitzky, Gary Karr paid that historic gift forward by
donating the Karr-Koussevitzky Bass to the ISB in 2004.

Since then, the bass has traveled the country, serving
two-year residencies at major shops supporting the ISB.
It is visited and played in these shops - by fans of Gary
Karr and the ISB, and on the concert stage by ISB
performer-members.
