Ottomar Hausmann Double Bass
Labeled - Ottomar Hausmann, Geigen- and cellobauer, Mittenwald/Karwendel, made
in Germany, Serial No. A594, 1958
We are in contact with a student of Ottomar's, and this luthier has confirmed
that this is an instrument made by Ottomar Hausmann. As an interesting
side note, the instrument was made during a period of time when Ottomar was
working for his father. We hope to have more information soon about this
fine maker.
This is a very nice bass with some minor repair needs. Unfortunately a Boston
bass specialist had done the previous repairs incorrectly...and not only did
those repairs fail, but they caused more problems!
Note the original varnish color under the bridge feet. Most likely
dragons blood was used as the varnish colorant which fades in sunlight.
