Owned by Ortiz Walton, the first Black Double Bass player in the Boston Symphony and the Buffalo New York Orchestra. He was the youngest musician in Boston Symphony Orchestra history at the age of 24.
This violin bass dates late 18th Century and is a very impressive orchestral bass. The bass is a fine example C.F Landolfi work with gamba shoulders, great projection, and is quite even throughout all registers. The varnish is a lovely reddish amber color, and the bass is in fantastic shape.
