Tarantino (Naples) 1935

$54,000 $48,600

This instrument was made by Giuseppe Tarantino in 1935. It has a round back and a custom C-extension made here in the shop by Thomas Wolf. Visually, this bass is beautiful- it has transparent amber varnish, stunning plate tuners, and a five-leaf purfling ornament on the upper back. The shorter string length and proportions make this a great choice for a smaller player. Don’t let the size fool you- it has a robust sound and would keep up in any section!

String Length: 40 ¼” (102cm)

Body Length: 41” (104cm)

Upper Bout Width: 17 ¾” (50cm)
