Steven Ayres

In 2013 I began working with Roger Stowers in researching Kay basses and cellos, and with Roger's death in 2020 I've taken over the Kay Bass and Cello Registry and kaybass.com. This research continues, and I've shifted the mission toward owner and luthier services. Interested in hearing from other Kay owners, and seeking documentation on more basses.
