 Repair
& Restoration:
We love
basses....we all do....right? That's why your here! If you
work on double basses, you have to love them. Working on basses
poses lot's of challenges. From the sheer size and workshop
space required to the unique understanding of the many ways they
can be played.
Basses, unlike any other
orchestral instrument, have no set of rules that is universally
accepted. Often, the bass is shunned from workshops and left to
be repaired by anyone with some clamps and glue. Too
frequently, we see simple repairs and maintenance work that
turns into full blown restoration simply trying to reverse years
and decades worth of neglect and poor repair.
At Upton Bass String Instrument
Co. our goal is to elevate repair & restoration of the double
bass to the grandest level of respect. We are sure our
commitment, knowledge, and the quality of work we conduct on
every bass is evidence of our dedication to this goal.
Upton Bass has done something
unheard of in this line of business...we put our work on public
display. Gone are the dark days of secrecy when it comes to the
repair and restoration of your instrument! We created a picture
portfolio website called
www.stringrepair.com initially so that our customers could
follow along with the work we were doing on their instrument.
This simple website that was aimed at keeping our customers
informed with the progress that was being made on their
instrument has turned into one of the most visited and linked
to string repair websites in the world! It is talked about in
every professional circle, whether it be musician or luthier
centered...and it is often that someone sends us a link to a
discussion on an Internet forum where our methods are being
discussed!!!
