Does anybody know anything about Andrew Schroetter double basses?
This one has had very tough white stuff spilled through the f hole and covering the label. I have used hot water to help peel the label away from the PVA so I can read it from behind. But I have off course lost some of the writing in the process so reading the Model number is difficult and the Serial next to hopeless. However I can read A Schroetter and see the logo and.....
Model: AS-B60-4?4
Serial: ???0-11

It has a carved front and back. The back is shaped not flat.

There seem to be various schools of thought as to whether older models (i'm guessing this is one) were made in Mittenwald, Poland or Czech. Anybody know?

Somebody has worked hard to keep this in playable condition but unfortunately appears to have stripped the varnish and given it an unsightly red wash.
