As the pre-eminent orchestral instrument, the English double bass provides power and depth of sound while maintaining great clarity and immediacy. The English makers of the 18th and 19th centuries produced instruments that set a benchmark still admired today. Published in 2018, it chronicles the rise and fall of the English double bass makers, providing compiled information on their work, instruments and lives in a level of detail not seen before. The volume features 766 exquisite photographs of double basses, printed on high-quality fine art paper and bound in leather. This is a valuable contribution to the history of the double bass, and as such is an essential addition to the libraries of researchers, players, museum curators, luthiers, restorers and valuers.
