I believe this is an early 20th century German factory bass, 3/4 size. It plays well enough although it appears to have suffered from a number of very low quality repairs over the years that significantly lower it's value in my opinion. hence the low price for an instrument of this age. The main issues are part of the top has been replaced on one side of the lower bout in quite a clumsy fashion, the heel of the neck is fixed to the block with dowels, there are two holes in the top where someone has tried to secure it to the lower block with screws and there are a few buzzes. The fingerboard is relatively new as is the endpin. I have had the bass for a couple of years and used it as a backup before on gigs, so it is fully functioning.
I'll be removing the Belcanto's before selling it, so it will probably end up with some old Spiros or similar on there (or anything else you like from my spare string box).
if anyone would like more information or photos let me know.
