Shinji Eshima plays on the 1843 Charles Plumerel bass that is seen in the Edgar Degas 1870 oil painting “L’orchestre de l’Opéra,” which hangs at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris (an oil sketch of the work is owned by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and is often on display at the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco). An inscription on the bass states that Plumerel’s instrument imitated Stradivari, but it is unconfirmed whether or not the bass is a copy of an instrument made by Antonio Stradivari. The bass was originally owned by Achille Henry Victor Gouffé, a soloist of the Paris Opéra who performed with the company for 35 years and appears with the bass in the aforementioned Degas painting (Gouffé was 66 years old at the time). The bass has since been performed with the Metropolitan Opera, New York Philharmonic, NBC Symphony Orchestra, and New York City Ballet. Eshima’s Juilliard teacher, David Walter, was the principal bass of the New York City Ballet orchestra and he played the Plumerel for more than 30 years. Six years after Walter’s death, it was passed on to Shinji Eshima. The bass was first performed at the War Memorial Opera House in 2008 during the 75th anniversary of San Francisco Ballet.
