Rob always has an interesting collection of basses. He does good work, and a lot of members of the Detroit Symphony use him. |

THANKS.
I found Wilson but Rob was on vacation. I'll get back by soon.
Also discovered Gary Ritter Strings, in South Lyon. I'm heading there this afternoon.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Grand Rapids, MI | | | Guarneri House is a great shop. Its a family owned operation and the work that comes out of there is amazing. Steve Riley has done some work on my bass and every time he does I'm more than impressed with the work done. They also have some amazing instruments there, last time I was there I played a bass worth $300,000, that bass made even myself sound like an arco virtuoso. Well worth the drive from the Motor City, although I only live 5 minutes away.
