Double Bass Day

Our double bass day features masterclasses with Thomas Martin, Anthony Alcock, Damian Rubido Gonzales, Julian Atkinson and Jeremy Watt. You'll also be able to enjoy a mass Double Bass Ensemble with RBC musicians and a Double Bass competition for under 18s with prizes to the value of £1,000.

Instrument makers, publishers and bow makers will be displaying at this celebration of all things Double Bass!
