Hello!

I'm looking at a nice DB. The label inside is as follows:

z dilny
A Kreutzer
OP27
Brunensis

Any guesses as to it's origin?

Searching google I get a list of musical studies, latin university names...nothing I can figure.

It's also got anno 1964, which I guess is the year.

Thanks!
Mark

Brunensis is in Czechoslovakia.
I guess OP27 means Opus 27, in other words his 27th instrument.
I don't know if the luthier's name is Dilny or Kreutzer though!

Hey, I am looking one of these basses and wonder if you may have come across any more info. Mine is dated 1997 and OPUS - B14. I am taking it to my friendly neighbourhood luthier this Sunday to see if he can help.

Cheers!!
