I'm selling this old 3-stringer, as is. I've heard many different things about the history of this instrument, although most people lean towards it being Northern Italy or Southern Austria...Possibly German. Age is guess to be somewhere from 1780-1840.
It has always been a 3-stringer and has the original tuning pegs.
The bass bar is carved into the top of the bass.
Overstand: about 1/4" (?)
Approx. String Length: 33-34"
Fingerboard Length: 28.25"
Neck: approx. 12"
Upper Bout: approx. 13"
C Bout: approx. 9"
Lower Bout: approx. 15"
Depth: 7.25" at the upper & c-bout, 7.5" at the lower bout
Asking price: $1,000.00 obo.
I am in Chicago- and willing to drive regionally.
