What's with the CMs and then the String length in inches?
Nice Bass but in USA, no one understands the CMs. In Europe it's standard but with inches as well for international sales.
This is that same shop that made my Morelli who ever they are. I posted a thread here on the Forum about
Shop Basses like these.
I believe that the initials G.A. were used as an export brand for USA mainly as he was a famous Bow maker. The family line of CF I, II and III were the only Violin makers in that family of Pfretzschners with all others being only Bow makers.
I think aside from the shop aspect of these Basses and the integral Bars, many of them they are made a notch above the later Juzek Brand Basses made by the Wilfers. The Wilfers did make some higher end Basses but the average Gamba model was not as good in my opinion as the Pfretzschner brand Basses were.
Nice score there Brian. Don't forget some picks of the Back and Purfling area.
