Setup & Repair of the Double Bass

By Chuck Traeger

Double bassists have a world of their own idiosyncrasies — especially when it comes to repair. Bass repairman Chuck Traeger has written his take on the job, covering each technique with ample detail. He treats a large field of repairs from endpins to scrolls, bridges, C-extension, bows, neck grafts, mode matching, and more. Illustrated with photographs and drawings. Additional comments added by David Brownell and Bill Merchant.
