Company Aims

Complete colaboration with the prospective buyer where all aspects of the construction of the instrument are discussed fully. Decisions as to the type of wood, colour of varnish, strings and adjustments, etc. are some of the many items that Tom will discuss with the player/buyer.

Although it is intended that Thomas Martin basses will be available in selected shops throughout the world, all the instruments to date have been made with an individual player in mind.

Chris Jennings with his double bass, made specially for him by Tom Martin Chris Jennings, a Canadian jazz bassist living in Paris had a problem - he plays left handed! So - we made him a completely left handed bass in beautiful figured poplar. "It's changed my life" says Chris.
