German Double Bass circa 1910

German Double Bass circa 1910

    A great many instruments of this type and quality have had a particularly hard life. This one however is overall, in pretty decent shape. We particularly like the fact that the instrument still retains its original light-brown spirit-varnish and has a nice slim feel neck that produces a “D” opposite the neck angle.

     

    The instrument produces a really beautiful warm, tonally rich sound which the jazzers amongst you call warm-ploppy-smoky with lots of colours.
