2013 Peter Reid (Australia)
Modelled after a Vincenzo Panormo instrument, this fine instrument was made by Australian luthier Peter Reid in 2013.
It is wide in both upper and lower bouts, very deep ribs, but surprisingly lightweight and has a warm, clear and powerful sound. Despite its size, it is very playable thanks to a steep bend in the upper back and a generous overstand. String length is a standard 41.5" (1055mm).
If you are looking for a large orchestral bass, this could well be the one.
Comfortable 41.5” string length.
Maple, Spruce with antiqued oil varnish.
