Description
Martin Double Bass: Tom has been playing and working with the double bass for more than 60 years now. This experience, along with Tom’s teaching and conducting, has enabled him to become one of the world’s most experienced producers and sellers of double basses.
His friendship with several of the leading contemporary makers led to a keen interest in the art of the Luthier. Some twenty years ago Tom began studies in the craft under the influence of the prominent restorer and expert Andrew Dipper, the former instructor at the International School of Violin Making – “A Stradivari”- in Cremona, Italy.
The instruments which came out of the Tom Martin workshop over the years that followed were small in number owing to the heavy working schedule as a player and teacher, but those made have found an appreciative and select group of owners from many of the greatest orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, B.B.C. Symphony Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, and in leading ensembles in Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Spain, U.S.A., and Japan.
To date, Thomas Martin has produced over 160 double basses and a number of fine violas and cellos.
