Workshop: Setting up a Double Bass Bridge and Soundpost

Today we take a look in the workshop, where Dan is busy carrying out a setup on a double bass that has come to us for a repair. We show you behind the scenes of this delicate work, from the initial measuring and cutting, to finetuning in order to make the best possible sound. As this instrument is a fivestring, it s especially important to get this right to ensure maximum playability and resonance.
