bigevilman Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Hey Guys I'm putting this up on behalf of my Great Aunty and Uncle, as they're not very 'internet-savvy'. What we have here is 3/4 size DB, made in Reghin, Romania. My Uncle told me it was made between 1940 & 1950 (if I remember rightly). It was mainly used as a bluegrass instrument by my auntie. Branding I am very unsure on, as I have looked and cannot find much information on it :/. I'll let the pictures do the talking to be fair.

My uncle stated he wanted [b]£650[/b] for the bass with softcase, bow and spare strings. Local pickup only due to the size Edited June 5, 2011 by bigevilman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigevilman Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 I'm in a village just outside Bridlington on the East Coast, between Scarborough and Hull. People are welcome to come have a look and play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigevilman Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Quick mention, the bridge was a replacement one, its a Glaesel (a french company I believe). I'll confirm this later, but I think it was fitted by the chaps at Peterborough Music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
