Aaron Reiley, Luthier, Aaron has worked with wood all of his life, growing up around the workshop of Guarneri House. However, his full potential as a luthier wasn't realized until he began working full-time for his father. Aaron constructed his first double bass, a Panormo model, patterned after a double bass owned by concert artist and teacher Larry Angell. Aaron's first bass received high marks from the judges at the 2003 International Society of Bassists Makers Competition. Aaron made (and sold) a second bass for the 2005 ISB Makers Competition and again received high marks. Aaron made a copy of Edger Meyers Gabrielle bass and received high praise on his recent tour of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. Commissions welcome.
