Double Bass Well That Was Sobering

I have only owned one instrument since I was in college. It's a Mirecourt 5/8's with a hybrid back, probably built around the time of the first world war. It sounds great for chamber music and jazz, and will

keep up in an orchestra, provided I'm at the back end of the section. All through my High School years I played on a Gotz laminated bass that had a similar design.
