Jay Haide Quenoil Model Double Bass for sale

 

       The Jay Haide range of instruments has been developed over several years by I.F.Shin Violins of Berkeley, California in collaboration with master European luthiers. All Jay Haide instruments are hand made in China from quality seasoned spruce and flamed-maple and have a tonal quality and workmanship that is normally found in instruments costing considerably more. These double basses have been designed with the advanced student and semi-professional in mind, regardless, these instruments represent very good value for money.

 

       The J. Haide double bass that I have for sale and featured below is the French (Quenoil) model with standard finish. lt has sloping top ribs and a carved back. I receive these instruments without any fittings so the entire 'fit-up' is performed in my workshop by me. The tuning machine heads (tuners) fitted are my own Baker model, bridges are Chevalets Despiau or Albert with aluminium bridge adjusters, end pins are good quality German. Included in the standard offer are a set of Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings and an 'C' extension ready fitted which is easily removed if required. Additional keys/gates can be fitted to the extension to suit a players requirements at no extra cost. Included in the price is a quality padded cover. This model bass is  available with either an antiqued finish ("a l'ancienne") or the standard finish, in both cases very well executed, please refer to the Jay Haide Panormo Bass for an example of the 'a l'ancienne' finish. Please contact me should you wish to try out this or any other instrument. The details of this model follow.

        This is what one satisfied customer had to say after purchasing a Jay Haide Quenoil double bass-

 

'The bass is amazing! I'm finding it hard to put the instrument down!'

-------------------

'Your Jay Haide instrument has proved to be outstanding and has greatly enchaced my musical performance'
