Pictured here is a Pöllmann “Gamba” model fully carved double bass from Michael and Ralph Krahmer, Mittenwald’s fourth generation Pöllmann (Poellmann) master bass builders, built 2004. Outrageous wood pattern pops out from every angle, while the Spruce top is deeply arched and hand contoured.
Very ergonomic in pattern, tapering comfortably at the neck heel. Pronounced arching with deep C-bouts for more facility with the bow. Eric points out the C bouts are over curved almost impossibly to the point, a deft note to craftsmen who might dare imitate…
This beautiful, comfortable instrument would shine in solo or chamber music settings with a clear, present and detailed arco sound.
Stunning flamed gamba pattern bass from the Pollmann family, with exquisite tone.
We had one of these Pöllmann Gambas about a year ago, and this one is even more remarkable to the eye with lavish use of flamed maple and precision in every detail.
