Complete restoration/rebuild of a double bass.

The following pictures cover the complete restoration/rebuild of a double bass which as you can see has incurred a considerable amount of damage aggravated by the` false starts` of two other repairers who have only made the situation worse. This job was unusual in the extent of damage and the fact it arrived in a cardboard box in pieces.

Whist not typical of the problems we commonly encounter we have included it here as it illustrates many advanced repair techniques rarely required on the same instrument, demonstrates exactly how much of the original instrument can be saved and we hope of interest to any one looking at this web site.
