That is the price. Apparently someone bought it and knew or rather thought it was worth a lot. It is probably fully restored now and that I am sure raised the price from a bass as-is to a Bass fully restored. My big Gamba Bass is pegged as the best bass at the show by most of the Orchestra Pros that have played and or heard it. maybe I should raise my price.. ?? There is also a Busan here at the show that doesn't hold a candle to my English Basses as well as a small attributed Maggini that has half the sound of my Candi. A Lott Bass is also on the floor that I know at a fairly low price with a sound to match. She just aint what she used to be.
If the Pedigree is there and proven, the price is there with it. If the sound is exceptional, the price is higher yet. I haven't played the Noiriel bass much yet past plucking a few strings. I will play it a bit with the bow tomorrow and give it a good look and listen.
