SOLD: German Double Bass circa 1900

Description

This German Double Bass is an extremely well-crafted instrument likely dating to 1900-1910, imported pre-WWI. Could use updating, but very original. We love the wood, the tuners, the scroll, the ff-holes… A beautiful, classically designed compact contrabass that could be exceptional with some owner-directed restoration. A diamond in the rough at a good price – give Eric a call at the shop to learn more! +1 (860) 535-9399
