Double Basses for sale at reasonable prices.

Hello again. As usual it has been too long since I updated this website. Last year I was very concerned about the way the orchestral profession in the UK had been the victim of severe cuts at the whim of politicians who really don't care about the arts in any shape or form. It was all very negative and possibly not the platform for my personal feelings.

​

Not much has changed regards funding, to be honest, but there are rays of light. The government has pledged to provide free musical instrument lessons to all children, which is how it used to be. So many of my colleagues, raised in ordinary working class homes, had free access to music education which led them to music colleges and the profession.

​

So we hope that this will be the case again. In addition to this I am aware that there is a thriving amateur scene as was the case before I entered the profession. Keen amateurs require good instruments, as do college students entering the profession, and  instruments are being  bought at these levels. And young professionals are working hard to upgrade as they find themselves being offered engagements by the fine orchestras that we have in the United Kingdom.

​

I personally am doing my bit. As well as trying to provide "Double Basses at reasonable prices", earlier this year I decided it was time to wind down on my playing career after 42 years of amazing musical experiences of the highest quality. I am still playing but I like to think that by slowing down I am allowing the next generation opportunities they would not have had access to on some level.
