John Betts
Double Bass
We are proud indeed, to offer this stunning example of John Betts for sale. Made ca 1820, it is clearly the work of John Lott Snr (grandfather) and B.S. Fendt Snr. It is strikingly original both inside and out having its original varnish and interior features intact. The John Lott scroll is perhaps the best we’ve ever seen. The size is slightly smaller than usual making it a joy to play with a rich and plentiful sound. We’ve seen few like this.
