About BVS

Report

Founded in 2001 by Bob Beerman, the Bass Violin Shop opened as a small double bass repair shop in Greensboro, NC. Over the years, double bass players from all over the country have placed trust in us to maintain their current instruments or help them find inspiration in a new double bass. In 2011 we purchased and renovated a 3,000 square foot building on the northwest edge of downtown, and are now staffed by five full-time employees. Our reputation has been built upon offering high quality instruments and repairs at affordable prices.

Repairs & Restorations

Report

One of the most enjoyable aspects of restoring double basses is that we are merely caretakers of these instruments for a short period of their lives. It is humbling to know that they will continue to make music long after we are gone. Our goal is to treat these instruments with care and dignity to preserve the history and make the next repair person's job pleasant.
