Double Bass Anton Dietl DB

Anton DIETL A superb artist-quality cello by master luthier Anton Dietl, made in Mittenwald in 1957. It's come to us in superb original condition, one of the firm's top-quality models, showing highly figured wood plus golden-amber oil varnish of high quality. Dietl's small firm is still in business, now owned by his grandson Rainer Leonhardt. They specialize in cellos. With a full and dark voice, our cello is recommended to any demanding cellist.

I know I saw one of his basses up for sale lately. Let me see if I can track it down

Thanks, Louis,
This one was owned by a friend who passed away. It's in very good shape, worked on a few years ago by the guys in David Gage's shop at an ISB convention. The family is interested in possibly selling and is wondering about value, etc. I don't have access to photos but can attest that it is in good shape. I think it has Spiros on it.
