Jan Malina Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I am beginner in double bass making. I made a VIDEO of my first varnishing of double bass by oil varnish - using UV shed. Húslař sold me his "Primo" and provided advice about the varnish recipe and varnishing proces. Edited May 18, 2020 by Jan Malina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if Húslar sells it commercially? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.DiLisio Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Cool bass! Is that your own model or is it based off a historic instrument? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that he sells his Primo "commercially". But I don't know what amount of it he can to produce. I think that not many litres. It is necessary to ask him.

It is model based on an instrument by Anton Posh. The instrument is in wien museum (Collection of Historic Musical Instruments). The instrument originally 5-string - was in past rebuild to 4-string version. The scroll is from another instrument. I am attaching a foto. I don´t know its author. It it my try motivated by saving material - I cut from sides the neck materials (neck of my instrument is from two pieces) some ribs.
