Last updated: January 15, 2012 fine old French doublebass now on consignment

December was quite rough for me, as I went through the worst flu of my life so far. That capped off several bad flus and a shoulder injury in 2011, making for several significant reminders that I'm now 50 years old. Time to start taking my health and fitness more seriously I suppose, and as such I've got back into running in earnest. With persistence perhaps 2012 will prove to be a more productive year. I know there are at least two doublebass players who are hoping so... This month I've taken in an old French doublebass on consignment, and welcome anyone who's interested to come and give it a try. There are also a couple of old French violins ready for use, after untold decades of storage in the hands of a collector, so please do call or email if interested in trying those or some of the other violins I've got ready so far. A small number of bows are also available, and I'm restoring more as time allows. The repair load hasn't eased in over a year. I'm not complaining - it's good to have the work - but expect some waiting time for any significant repairs as I try to catch up on the restorations still lingering after last years' delays.
