JTL Lamy Double Bass c1890

Classic pear-shaped gamba pattern, with etched purfling and tuners all bear the hallmarks of JTL instruments from the late 19th century. As typical for these instruments, the bass is very strongly built, if not overbuilt, giving it distinctive tone (along with heft and longevity).

In fine playing shape, with great clarity when bowed.

Back seam repair in contrasting hardwood is in excellent condition.

This instrument is currently in our Boston location.
