my new Pollmann (SOLD)
This is my newly acquired Pollmann Busseto (Busetto or Bussetto, pick your spelling).
The Label mentions this being a 4/4 model. In Germany and Europe maybe, but in USA, we call this a 7/8 or full 3/4. The string length is only 40 3/4" (103.5cm). Plays so easily and the sound is HUGE. |

Lovely! Looks as if the condition is very, very good!

It has a few repaired Rib cracks and some minor repaired Top cracks as well. The bass is solid. The Back and Sides are Anegre', not Maple. It is also lighter in weight than maple and very stable as well.

Anegre vs. Maple: Do you think it´s equal regarding it`s quality as a tonewood and its longtime quality?

Equal?
Quote:
Basses can be also as you know in Poplar, Willow, Walnut (all kinds) as well as other hardwoods used for the back and sides. All of the Pollmann's that used Anegre' had Maple necks. I think the Anegre' was used there in the 70s and 80s. I have not seen his basses from before with it or after. Anegre' is now a valuable decorative veneer with flame figure so you probably can't get it in lumber now if you wanted to. |

Why do you think the Krahmers stopped using anegre?
Do you know any other luthier using it? |
