philparker Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hey, for those of you who are building up a bit of a collection - check out this display stand for your music room!

ubassman Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Excellent value - do you think the three basses are included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubassman Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 ...its the Birmingham shop for Turner Violins who have one of the best selection of Double basses in their other shop in Nottingham (one of, if not THE biggest selection of old DBs in the UK !) ...I wonder if they are closing down Birmingham?

[/quote] I got the impression it was a shop/display room closing down, which I'm sure saddens us all? However, I notice that one or two BC members would benefit from one of these!

ubassman Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I was in the Nottingham shop about 2 weeks ago ...they had just that morning sold a violin bow for £20K !! Really well stocked with violins, violas, cellos and a whole double bass room with maybe 30 + basses - really nice Neopolitan bass in particular ( ...it was a snap at a mere £40k !! ) . That said, Steve there was showed me some beautifully set up instruments between £5k and £15k - well worth a trip for anyone in the area and an excellent collection of bows too. I guess its a pretty specialist and limited market when you get into high end instruments but the value of the few shops in the UK like Turners is that you just can't buy quality stuff like this anywhere else than a shop and the care and service that you get is excellent. I wish the Birmingham shop all the best - hopefully it is maybe just having a shuffle round of space - easy to speculate and have the wrong kind of rumours circulating !

cattytown Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 [quote name='headofire' timestamp='1370113323' post='2096632'] Don't we all wish we had enough basses to make this worthwhile? [/quote] Indeed. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
