About Peter Georgiadis:

Peter is a member of Tenterden Rotary Club, and was once principal double-bassist with many orchestras and would eventually become interested in knowing more about the instruments which had so often surrounded him.

In 1977 he decided to stop playing and become a dealer. His invaluable experience as a player became a great attribute, as he could offer advice on instrument selection to colleagues, one professional to another.

Over the last twenty years he has supplied double-basses to many famous orchestras from all over the world as well as to some of the world’s greatest Jazz musicians. Sales average around one hundred instruments per year.

Peter's amusing talk will lift the lid on some fascinating characters in the world of the double bass!
