During the holidays I translated (more or less) the report of a restoration I did the last year.
The instrument is a Nicola Rossi double bass of 1844.
I left the measuremants in mm to save the compromises I did with my "metric" eye (wears, different plates, G and E side different rib heights etc.).
When I say "D neck" I mean something slightly longer than a modern D neck. With the thumb at the heel opposite to the second finger, the first finger plays D.
It seem to be an Eb neck, but here people use the 1-3-4 fingering at the lower positions, so I can't say.
Of course, any suggestion is welcome.

That is the TRUE D neck played with the second finger at the Heel and the first finger on the D with PROPER left hand positioning.. THANK YOU... Really..

Nice work and beautiful model. Looks very similar to the model made famous by his son Gaetano. It's great to see and original by his father.

pino, that´s very interesting, nice bass, great work!
thank you very much for posting

Great bass and great work Pino ! Bravo !!!

Yah, great work and a great read! Ideally, every major restoration would be just as carefully recorded. Cheers for that! :cool:
