Super nice grain of the spruce top and the maple shell & neck as well. These two seem to have profound knowledge how to do this old, old method of building bass viols.
Doublebasses are actually really cheap, compared to violins or cellos, when talking about professional instruments at least. And doublebasses from a Romanian factory wouldn't cost more than 3k, even if the craftmanship here is really really good. Very high quality factory instruments can nowadays compete with instruments made by a single luthier who spent his life making instruments, that's insane...
I'm impressed by the high quality of polish you managed to obtain from the varnish. How do you get the "mirror" effect on oil varnishes ? Is it possible to varnish an instrument with oil based varnish and apply a last layer of spirit varnish with shellac for the finish ?
No offense pal, but I seriously doubt yours was made this way, unless you unloaded a boat o' dough for it. In which case you would have ordered it, and probably been briefed on the processes before hand.

Wow I have played the bass for a while, but I never knew all the work that went into making them
I have a whole new respect for the instrument.

Fantástico!
Fascinating video, especially compared with how the Bass' small cousins are made.
The soundpost is bigger than your hand ! Very impressive, thank you for sharing :)
I'd love to buy one of your bass.
Nice video. I own a Calin Wultur "Panormo" 3/4 bass and I love it. I was a little surprised to find this on UA-cam.

Thank you for this video. You make it look so easy!
This is so satisfying
Double bass will always be superior to cello and so much more fun, it's more than just an Orchestrial instrument.
Right! It's the heartbeat and soul of any ensemble in which it is present.
Cool! I have a Calin Wultur bass.
Além do excelente trabalho do Lutier escutamos um incrível Contrabaixo!
I'd love to know what piece is being played after the Bottesini, great video by the way :)

Wow.
I always wanted to no how my instrument was made
Henry Hinders you should stick to English because you need a lot of help on that.
