Gustavo Auday is a National Double Bass Teacher and had his degree at the Carlos López Buchardo National Conservatory of Music, Buenos Aires, Argentina. He is also a member of the Bahía Blanca Symphonic Orchestra and a teacher of double bass at the Bahía Blanca Conservatory of Music. He is an active member of many different musical groups, performing chamber music and others genres such as tango, jazz, Latin American folklore, fusion, etc.

His passion for this noble instrument and the difficulty obtaining quality instruments, made him take a deep interest in restoring and building double basses, devoting a lot of time and effort to this activity ever since. Regarding sound quality and esthetic, he has always taken the greatest Italian master craftsmen as a frame of reference.

Over and over, history shows how luthier and musician combine their knowledge in order to deeply penetrate the mysteries of timber. In our case, this union is not necessary, for luthier and musician are the same person. This fact makes a big difference when it comes to instrument making and its set-up.
