Old German Flatback Bass (price drop £2250) - *SOLD* £3000 MANCHESTER

[Fellrunner]

Bought around 2014 from Julian Batey in Shrewsbury.

 

In need of TLC so had a full top-off programme of work including:

 

New neck and block

New headstock

New ebony fingerboard with Romburg bevel

New endpin & tailpiece

Adjustable bridge fitted

Repairs to any cracks 

 

All work carried out by Peter Hall in Beverley who suggested a sale price up to £4k so I've priced it to sell.

 

Age estimated at around the turn of the 19th/20th century.

 

Plenty of mojo, this has clearly been a player's instrument throughout its long life.

 

A solid instrument now with a warm sound.

 

I stopped playing when the pandemic shut my orchestra down and haven't restarted so it's with heavy heart that I'm letting this go now.

 

Inspections welcome👍
