Like me, Phillipp Hahn, the owner of the Jazzkeller, is a passionate everyday cyclist. The Jazzkeller is also not far from us – otherwise I would have been a little worried about his transportation method when he brought the Jazzkeller bass to me on his Omnium because of a few open glue joints. His father Eugen‘s old Rubner then got an all-round check-up, and now the bass is ready for Europe’s most famous jazz club again.

During its use at the German Jazz Festival, the tuning machines of this bass of the Frankfurt Radio Big Band broke. Jeffrey Meinel from Rubner in Markneukirchen was able to repair it, so that it did not have to be replaced by a new one. After the autumn holidays of the Big Band, the bass could be used again.
