'cello

[Owen]

I do realise that this is not strictly speaking a Bass - more a sort of tenor. Probably no one up for it either, but - hey - you never know.

1880 (ish) German 'cello. Valued at £4K but had a neck repair that has been ROCK solid in the 25 years (gulp) I've owned it. Probably looking for £2.6K. It has a hard case and bow. New bridge/strings very recently. I can take pics if anyone fancies a closer look, but realise that this is a bit of a niche sale. I would also entertain trades (+ £ from you) for a recent spec Mac laptop.

where are you based?

[Owen]

I'm in Bangor, North Wales.

Will put pics up much later this evening. Sorry, it is a busy day and if I announced that I was going to disappear for half an hour to take some pictures bad things would happen to me,

In the grand scheme of things, 140 years old is not "very old" for a classical instrument!

BUMP just to say it's beautiful and you should keep it as furniture if nothing else.

S'funny I know if I ever want to buy an upright my girlfriend won't say a word because it will look so sweet in our dining room.
