Lowendall from Dresden
Ken,
Here's another Lowendall for sale, from the maker's Dresden years. Unlike yours, it has cello-like shoulders, which have been mentioned (as impediments to easy playing) in earlier posts.
The photo showing "1886" includes some letters that suggest "March."
The back (photo wouldn't upload) has impressive flame.
The luthier who has taken care of it for 30+ years replaced the bass bar and glued some cracks, and says it is in good shape.
This bass is overseas and its transport could be costly. Plus, thanks to the coronavirus there is absolutely no work now or for the foreseeable future. Shrugging shoulders and all, though, it is tempting.
May I ask how much you are asking for yours? Thanks.
