Italian Double Bass by Lorenzo & Tommaso Carcassi, Florence anno 1752 – Review
I'm looking for a very special instrument. Of course it has to be Italian. What can you offer me? To describe the double bass featured here we would use the term "extremely-fine". The instrument is by and labelled in black ink - "Lor° & Tom° Carcassi in Firenze nell anno 1752 all insegnadel Giglio". That sounds interesting. What does the term "extremely-fine" encompass? In this case the term can be used to describe the quality of the making, the overall condition of the instrument and also the tonal qualities of the instrument. Would you say that the instrument is rare...
