[quote name='Major-Minor' post='827880' date='May 4 2010, 08:00 PM']If anybody is interested (and got a spare 40K to spend) I know of a bass by William Tarr that's looking for a new owner. Kept in good condition by Roger Dawson, it is currently residing in Stalybridge, near Manchester. The current owner is retiring due to ill health.
PM me if you want details.

Hi there,
Sorry but I'm not buying. The reason I wanted to get in touch is that I'm a student at Newark school of violin making and in my third and final year. At the moment I'm making two 3/4 double bass to the design of a William Tarr bass. I was wondering if you have any pictures of the bass that your friend has and would be willing to send them. I'm finding it hard to get pictures of the scroll in particular. I can't offer much in return but if your interested could send pictures of my basses as they come on.
Thanks.
