“I recently moved to Durham, and like any bass player, am always nervous to go to a new luthier. Damon (Dr. Bass) is amazing! He was kind and patient with my sometimes stupid questions. He went above and beyond to get me a few extra millimeters on my adjustable bridge. His shop itself is quite impressive.”

“Really a nice place to learn music and also for repair instruments. Give a look here.”

“Took my bass to Damon before heading off to college. It sounds huge and looks great!”

"Damon is a thoughtful, responsive, and thoroughly expert luthier. He stands behind his work and goes the extra mile to make sure that you are happy. His extensive experience performing repairs means that he is quick to diagnose issues and can clearly communicate the tradeoffs of various repair options.”

“Awesome location for not only all your string instrument needs, but a great space to have lessons in as well. Damon has been amazing in doing some repairs on my sons violin before he started his very first lesson. I appreciated Damon being very informational to my son and I in learning about the violin...”
