Double Bass (Contrabass) - English Five String Bass by John Bedingfield (1996)

An elegant five string bass (no.16) with intricately carved lion's head scroll. Violin shaped with a two piece swell back of beautifully flamed maple. Best quality materials throughout including handmade brassware. Double purfling front and back. Varnish amber/yellow. Used professionally in UK - Philharmonia, Royal Philharmonic, Glyndebourne etc. Strong clear sonorous tone throughout the range - fantastic for the price
