SOLD: Corey Swan Ceruti Model Double Bass 2012
This 2012 Corey Swan “Ceruti” Model Double Bass was constructed with the original 1820 Ceruti by its side. The bass is a 7/8 model and has a 42” string length. Like the original, the top is carved from the finest Italian spruce, although Corey also used his personal life experiences as inspiration while constructing this double bass. The back and sides are made of aspen, a form of poplar, which is abundant in Colorado where he grew up. The neck is European maple and is topped with a Butternut scroll. The original Ceruti scroll was carved of walnut, but Corey chose a similar colored wood within the same species that is local to New England, where his workshop is based.
Corey Swan is a Bass and Violin maker currently working in Providence, RI. He is a formally trained double bassist with equal amounts of training and experience in the Italian instrument making tradition, working from the perspective of both a player and luthier. Corey’s methods bring the precision of violin making to the double bass world.
