Damon Walker is a contrabass instructor, performing musician, and luthier who hails from New York City where he spent his earlier years as a furniture maker, architecture student, and bassist performing with many acts throughout New York’s famous venues, The Bottom Line, CBGB’s, and the like.

In 1995 an apprenticeship with world renown luthier David Gage (NY) perfectly united Damon’s woodworking, design experience, and passionate love of bass into what would become his life’s focus.

Dr. Bass provides expert setup, restoration, and custom modification of stringed instruments using quality materials and proven techniques.

Short and long-term rental options available. Peruse our gallery of new and used instruments, bows, accessories, books, and related accoutrements.


Expert instruction on a wide range of instruments provided at affordable prices to students of all levels virtually or in spacious and well-ventilated rooms that permit adherence to safe social distance guidelines. We are qualified and prepared to work with everyone from novices, to high level players.

Dr. Bass conducts regular traveling workshops by invitation to local music programs and classrooms covering everything from instrument maintenance to set-up arts.

In addition to his in-store services, Dr. Bass also offers pickup, delivery, backline and premium house-call services (backstage or in-home) providing repair/adjustment and whatever equipment the small or large venue requires.

“I recently moved to Durham, and like any bass player, am always nervous to go to a new luthier. Damon (Dr. Bass) is amazing! He was kind and patient with my sometimes stupid questions. He went above and beyond to get me a few extra millimeters on my adjustable bridge. His shop itself is quite impressive.”

“Really a nice place to learn music and also for repair instruments. Give a look here.”

“Took my bass to Damon before heading off to college. It sounds huge and looks great!”

"Damon is a thoughtful, responsive, and thoroughly expert luthier. He stands behind his work and goes the extra mile to make sure that you are happy. His extensive experience performing repairs means that he is quick to diagnose issues and can clearly communicate the tradeoffs of various repair options.”

“Awesome location for not only all your string instrument needs, but a great space to have lessons in as well. Damon has been amazing in doing some repairs on my sons violin before he started his very first lesson. I appreciated Damon being very informational to my son and I in learning about the violin...”

“Great work! Super fast. Managed to extract resonance from my E string that I didn't know was there!”

“Got my Deuce bridge installed, fingerboard (dressed), and set up done by Damon Walker -Dr Bass in Durham NC.Could not be happier, anybody in or near Durham needs to check this guy out.My bass has never played this well, so freaking excited!”
