SOLD Kay M1 Double Bass Viol serial#43274 c1961

This Kay, model M1 from 1961 is in MINT condition. The serial number is 43274. This bass has had only two previous owners. Try as we might, we cannot find a single structural flaw with it, and the finish is superb with the exception of a small varnish chip on the top C bout area. The neck heel is secure and shows no evidence of fracture. The finish on the neck is flawless, and we thought at first it had been replaced...but this neck is legit. A one piece highly curled maple back takes your breath away...you simply cannot find wood this nice anymore! Truly an awesome bass to show and own! It's almost like going back in time. If you dream of Kay's...this is the one that haunts you.
