World class Grand Panormo model with mixed Italian flair & English Panormo styling. The Scroll shows evidence of originally being built as a 3-string bass. The Plates and 3 of the Baker Gears are original with a near matched 4th Gear from the19th century. The Top and Back both measure about 6mm in thickness throughout as you would expect to see on a Panormo. The Back has a center brace like on a Flat Back that is very old and may be original as well. The upper Back angle studs inside are also in the style of Panormo's work. Restored in 2009 by Arnold Schnitzer in New York (AES). This Bass is in fantastic condition with a slight Block cut to reduce the string length to just under 42". A beautiful handmade Ebony C-Extension was added shortly after by Schnitzer as well. Despite being a fairly large instrument, it plays very easily.
