2013 Peter Reid (Australia)
Modelled after a Vincenzo Panormo instrument, this fine double bass was made by Australian luthier Peter Reid in 2013, made from maple and spruce with an antiqued varnish.
It is wide in both upper and lower bouts, very deep ribs and high shoulders, but despite its dimensions, it is very playable thanks to a steep bend in the upper back and a generous overstand. String length is a comfortable 41.5" (1055mm).
This lovely bass has a warm, focussed and powerful sound.
If you are looking for a powerful, large bodied, lightweight orchestral bass, this could well be the one.
