Lowendahl Basses

[Stefano Senni]

I saw and played one a few years ago in London....a dealer friend of mine had one. It was labeled 1890 Luis Lowendall - Berlin, and also fire stamped on the back button. It was a gorgeous cello model full size. It sounded great ! I was about to buy it but then I passed on it because of the cello shoulders...Recently I've found photos of that same bass being altered (shoulders reduced)...here we go : great job !
