Dear Friends,

As the Atelier is a self-isolation zone most of the time, work continues here with my usual winning smile (as pictured). I am working on an exciting project: a custom bass for a client in Austria. Based on an unusual old English model by an unknown maker, It is a very broad instrument, particularly in the centre bouts with a flat back and gamba corners. The current challenge is the careful working out of the complex geometry to ensure good playability with the instrument’s 'ample‘ girth. One of my favourite things is working with people to create unique and personalised instruments.

The Atelier is open: I am here to care for your instruments and bows Monday to Friday.

Call if you would like to drop off services and repairs.

Pick Up and Delivery: For those of you who are unable to, or would prefer not to come into Salamanca, I am happy to provide a pick-up and drop off service in Hobart and surrounds.

Please call 0422 945 752 or email to philip@atelierphilipsmith.com

Post: If you live outside of Hobart, you can send bows via Australia Post.

Ordering and Payment: Payment by credit card over the phone or by direct deposit (delivery once cleared)

Take care,

Philip
