Welcome To Bryant Basses
elcome to the website of Paul N. Bryant. Here you will find details of my fine hand-made English double basses.
Bryant double basses have established a reputation for quality and value for money, and are played in many leading orchestras in Britain and abroad, as well as for jazz and solo playing.
Since there comes a time in everyone's life when we must find something less strenuous to do, I don't plan on taking any more orders for new instruments. My wife Liz and I hope to spend more time narrowboating, which was the reason we moved up to the West Midlands a few year ago.
During my double bass making career I have made a great variety of bass models, as one can see from my archive pages, however, for my last few basses, which I will make when I am able, I will concentrate on my John Lott model, which has proved popular with both orchestral and jazz players, and my smaller 'soloist' bass. I will put these on the site when they become available.
I would like to thank all my customers and friends, past and present, and wish you all the best in your careers; I hope your Bryant bass will prove to be a good investment in the future.
