Italian Bass by Roberto Muzio, Milan 1993 (SOLD)
 

Here is a beautiful 3/4 Italian bass from Milan made by Roberto Muzio in 1993. I spoke with Mr. Muzio recently and he remembered this bass. It was played in Italy for a few years and then sold to a dealer in USA thru an Italian dealer. Then it was played professionally here for a few years before it was acquired by me thru a trade deal with another bass. Muzio has made 20 basses to date, the latest one with a carved Lion head.
