Old German French Model

[William Stephens]

My College has an interesting bass that appears to be a german Vuillaume copy.

There is a replica vuillaume label inside with a date of 1844 (the bass looks nowhere near that old), above which a previous restorer has pencilled the word "German"

The bass looks similar to the one at the start of this thread, although it has a much lighter varnish.

I don't have any pics to hand, but I could take some when I get back there next month.....
