"Bergonzi" - Will the Ebay bargains never end??!!

Hi all,

Here's a link to an item you don't see every day:

It looks a little old, but 200+ years?! Interestingly, the seller either hasn't received any inquiries or has chosen not to make them public...

Cheers,

Didn't know they had plywood back then. Here's what I sent to the seller;

"That looks to be a 20th century Czech Plywood Bass. The finish and outer rib linings give it away. If that is an Italian Bass, I am from the planet Neptune!"

Let's see how he replies. By the way, I am looking at a Bass right now that has been in London for about 100 years or so and they claim it is and has always been known to be a Bergonzi as well. I have the pics and I am not sure if it is Italian or English but IS a beautiful old Bass. If I get involved in this possible real Bergonzi, I will make a thread. Until then, I am still checking out the origin and maker of this one.
