We have moved and reorganized!
After more than 40 years in business, David Gage String Instruments has moved to a new NYC downtown location and has reorganized itself into two separate entities working out of the same building.
David Gage will focus on creating more products for The Realist and bringing the brand that he and Ned Steinberger created to a larger audience. As a luthier, David will be focusing on specialty projects including restorations. Stay tuned for more news from The Realist and David over the coming months.

We are proud to introduce the newsest member of the Realist Family: The Realist SoundCLip for Violin and Viola
Our patented Realist technology has made the Copperhead the world's most respected pickup for acoustic instruments.
Like its predecessors, the LifeLine is based on a concept of self-powered transparent pickups that are easy to use.
Our new amplified-acoustic RVs are made in Europe with fully carved Carpathian spruce, set up here at the shop, featuring the same rich tone, volume knob, and trusted Realist pickup built into the body
The Realist SoundClip clamps easily onto the bridge of any upright bass or cello, without marking or damaging. It's great for travelling bassists or those who want a pickup only when using an amp.
This universal volume knob for upright bass lets you adjust volume on-the-fly, no matter which pickup is installed.
