The English Double Bass is an unprecedented fine art work researched painstakingly by double bass experts Thomas Martin, Martin Lawrence and George Martin. This 526-page book features 766 exquisite colour photographs of 100 double basses enshrined in its leather-bound covers, printed on high-quality paper and with varnished musical instrument images throughout.

Published in 2018, it chronicles the rise and fall of the English double bass makers, providing compiled information on their work, instruments and lives in a level of detail not seen before.

Our limited-edition fine art prints are collectable works of art in themselves. The instrument photographs featured on our prints are reproduced using stochastic printing which uses a very small ink-dot size. This provides an unsurpassed level of detail on the subject depicted. In addition, we use expensive light-fast inks to reduce the bleaching effects of sunlight over time, thereby preserving the integrity of the images for long-term display in your home, workshop, music room or study.

The fine art prints produced by Arpeggio Publishing are unlike anything previously offered to the market.
