| German bass ca. 1930
So, at long last, I've decided to sell my upright bass.
It's a German instrument from a maker named Hermann Saumer, in Markneukirchen, Germany. It was made sometime in the late 1920's or very early 1930's. I pretty much played nothing but Jazz on it, especially during my student days at UNF, but I left the program after a year and really haven't played much jazz since. All the same, I wanted to hold onto it, if only for personal reasons, but recent circumstances have made that impossible. It's set up for Jazz already, but I imagine it would do well as a classical instrument if it were set up thus, as it has a very clear tone.
I'll have photos up as soon as I can. I live in Gainesville, Florida. If you live within a certain radius and you're a serious buyer, I may be able to bring it to you for an audition, but I can't otherwise ship it out of town. I am asking $4500 American.
