Maybe you have found an old Kay or vintage bass and need a professional opinion? With our Verbal Appraisal Service we answer the fundamental questions about your double bass &#8211; where it was made, when it was made, the condition and market value. It&#8217;s as easy as taking some good pics and letting us review!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">We use the term &#8220;verbal appraisal&#8221; for the quick version &#8211; to differentiate from a &#8220;bench appraisal&#8221; where we physically inspect the bass at our shop and write up an assessment with photos. Our Verbal Appraisal Service can be done completely online and over the phone, while our in-person Bench Appraisal is the better choice for insurance coverage of fine instruments.
