Model based on double bass from c.1820
Thomas Dodd (London, b. 1764 d. 1834)
String length 107cm (42 *”)


The Instrument
This model epitomizes the classical English Bass making school of the early nineteenth century, yet it also expresses the unique style of Thomas Dodd. Every detail of the instrument is brilliantly and painstakingly executed and it is a truly superb bass to look at. The varnish is particularly exciting as it features a reddish colouring atop a golden background, which produces an uncommonly beautiful colour texture.
