The 'Yorke Mini Bass Kit' was jointly developed by the Yorke Trust and Stentor Music Company Ltd. It is designed to enable children as young as six to learn to play the double bass. This initiative has transformed the teaching of the Double Bass and encouraged many more players.

The kit is to the specification of the Yorke Trust and includes everything the aspiring young bass player will need. The 'Yorke Mini Bass Project' is an international endeavour to improve the tuition of bass playing in schools.

The kit comprises the following items:
'Andreas Zeller' double bass, made in Romania to Stentor specifications, with hand carved solid spruce table, laminated maple back and sides, solid maple neck, ebony fingerboard and tailpiece, brass machines and amber gold varnish. The instrument has correctly fitted bridge, nut and sound post, adjusted in our Reigate workshop
Padded cover with twin zips opening to the neck
French model bow weighing approximately 100g
