Restorations
One of The Bass Shops main attributes is the repair and restoration of the double bass and cello family. From the repair of a very small crack to full body rebuild Richard has conducted many of these over the years, with attention to fine detail.
Whilst trying to maintain the maker’s original intent as much as possible some parts are beyond repair, Richard is able to create new parts which do not compromise the quality or sound of the instrument. “The main result I am looking for is the sound at the end it should be as it was or better”
Some of the main repairs we conduct are:
• Split and crack repairs • Bass bar replacements • Neck repairs • Scroll repairs • Fingerboard replacements • Edging/corner repairs
The Bass Shop is fully equipped to handle all aspects of double bass and cello restorations. All care is taken with your instrument.
We are able to put together insurance quotes and please note it is very difficult to give accurate quotes over the phone. It is preferable that the instrument is brought into the shop.
Contact Richard if you have any questions.
