I heard from my teacher (who was Postas student)
that this bass went to Postas daughter.
My colleagues remember that there was a G. They still do!
Where is it now?
I remember Prof.Stoll having a similar shape and varnish BUT it is not certainly this "G" we are talking.

And Carlos: you must be right! All the basses that russians did sell...they were something!
Many original Italian,Mittenwaldian etc.
Two G basses I have seen: Contrabass shoppe and Postas only on pix. Also Prof.Stoll's bass.
But where is this particular instrument?
And one answer: Mr. Levinson was not a member of Soviet Union since he left. It is called "exodus".
Or is it depo?
