The
double bass is not just a larger violin.
It even traces its' development back to an earlier instrument, the viol.
Bill Merchant has over twenty five years experience repairing basses for
an international clientele of both classical and jazz musicians, working
in Manhattan and, since 1995, in High Falls, N.Y. as well.

You
can ship your bass to me for repairs
(I can send you a trunk if need be). This is obviously only worthwhile
for larger repair jobs, restorations, over hauls and major re-set ups
(new fingerboard or bridge, new bass bar, etc.) I can send you photos
of the work as it progresses so it is the same as if you brought the bass
to me yourself. |

I can give you an estimate of probable costs after we consult via e-mail and/or the telephone. I give an estimate with a wide price range, worst and best probable costs from that. If you decide to send the instrument to me after that I give a final cost before starting the job. When the top or back is to come off, the final price is given immediately after the plate's removal. I always take before and after pictures of the inside of the top of every job I do and can supply them to you (just ask!). |
