      Probably a blind alley (especially with the "French dictionary" nudge, but the only S connected with the Double Bass that I know is Stefano Scodanibbio:

                    Les Forains (1945) ballet.

                    I am now going to disappear from AA for a while. I am retiring from my practice at the end of the month and have a lot to get through before then. No doubt I will be lurking somewhere but will need to refrain from posting. Keep associating folks

                    From April I will be a free spirit doing locums as the need arises.

                        I'm sure you're looking forward to that greatly - best of luck - [and careful on the ski slopes] - looking forward to your return

                              Very best wishes, Flay - don't overdo things in the last couple of weeks.

                                We keenly await your spirited return Best of luck with it all - hope all that stuff you have to get through isn't too daunting... snow drifts, après-ski, fondu, chalet-maids, all that sort of thing... Do please be careful !!
                                "...the isle is full of noises,
                                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
