carved Testore copy was made in China and is strung with Bel Cantos.

types of playing. The bass is in very good condition. Includes
Mooradian cover. Asking $4500 and will throw in a Chinese-made German
style pernambuco bow if need be. Bass lives in San Antonio, TX and
would be a great conservatory level instrument. Bass also features

Description: In the opinion of the Susan Riley, proprietor of the Bass Shop, and of Dave Ellis, luthier at the Bass Shop, this instrument is estimated to have been made in the mid-20th century and is of Austro-Hungarian origin. It is hand carved, has a flat back, high arching in the belly and an ebony fingerboard. The belly is made of spruce and the back and sides of maple.At some point it has been re-varnished in a deep reddish colour and the scroll has been replaced (this is of sound workmanship, and fitting to what is a very attractive and well-made instrument).
The bass has a very large and focussed sound. There are no cracks or repairs anywhere, allowing for clear and uninhibited projection.It is considered by Susan and Dave to have a replacement value of USD$12,200.00Measurements for the double bass:Body Length: 43 inches (109.2 cm)
