Paul Mangenot (attr.) c.1890-1900
6 Attachment(s)
Here we have a beautiful old turn of the century French bass from the shop of Paul Mangenot, pupil and successor to Justin Derazey. Although unlabelled, I have seen at lest one other labelled and a few others that were not. All of them have the same distinct look from the model, wood and varnish. This bass is in fine restored condition and has a modern set-up with new fingerboard, bridge, soundpost and endpin unit. The Top is Spruce. The Back, Ribs and Neck/Scroll are Beechwood. All parts including the Gears and Varnish are Original.
