This is one big bass!
Modelled after a Vincenzo Panormo instrument, this is Australian maker Peter Reid's first double bass.
It is wide in both upper and lower bouts, very deep ribs, but surprisingly lightweight and has a thick powerful sound. Despite its size, it is very playable thanks to a steep bend in the upper back and a generous overstand.
If you are looking for a large orchestral bass, this could well be the one.
