Cello numbers 6 and 7 have been delivered to their rightful owners, and while I am pleased to be finished, it's always a little sad to see them go. I hope you enjoy them, guys, but make sure you bring them all back every now and again to visit, y'hear?'
My making schedule is now open if anyone would like an instrument hand made by me, you can jump to the head of the queue.
Meanwhile, back to a real sized instrument. My version of the Francois Rabbath Quenoil Double Bass. A beautiful French form, focused sound and easy to play due to the sloping shoulders. I'll fight you for it when its finished!
Remember, I will be leaving for France in April so the shop will be closed from 1st April until the 25th May. If you would like any repairs done or bow rehairs, now would be a good time to bring them in.
I will also be away working as one of the Double Bass tutors and fixer of broken hearts (no, no not hearts, instruments) at the LYCO Strings camp from the 25th to the 30th January.

I want not acquiesce in on it. I over warm-hearted post. Especially the title-deed attracted me to read the unscathed story.
Hi Philip
your Cellos no 6 & no 7 are fine instruments and i hope that their owners find much joy in sounding their voices after you have breathed your breath into them.
i create pictures and i know the sadness when they leave, bitter sweet. Happiness is knowing they will be equally as loved.
i will follow with keen interest while you work on your version of the Francois Rabbath Quenoil Double Bass best wishes and keep us updated about this and your up coming adventures in France.
