Paul Mangenot (attr.) c.1890-1900 w/C-Extension (IN STOCK)(PA)

[Ken Smith]

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 least two others labelled and a few 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, sound-post and end-pin unit. The Top is Spruce. The Back, Ribs and Neck/Scroll are Beech-wood, all original including the Gears and Varnish.
