Christian Laborie "Piattellini"

Beautiful bass made in 2008 by french luthier Christian Laborie.

Smaller double bass than the “Ceruti” model with sloping shoulders and a round back with a bevel in the upper bout.
The large ribs give this model a powerful, deep sound, and because of its shape, allows for accessible upper register playing.
Convenient for classical music, jazz and contemporary music.

String length : 41’’1/2 (105/106cm)
Total length : 5’ 10’’ (177cm)
Top length : 42’’ (107cm)

Price : 23000 euros. (EVR cover included)

The instrument is in France (Paris),

Don't hesitate to ask for more details.

Yes, a huge sound, and with the Rabbath endpin it's amazingly more powerful, for both arco and pizz.

Great looking bass - btw what strings are those? Looks like they are tied to come from beneath the tailpiece?

I've played the Laborie Quenoil model. By far for the best bass ever. I'll bet this bass is AMAZING! BUMP!
