The Bass is MINE

I was able to acquire the Calin Wultur Panormo today.  I can't believe this fine double bass is standing here in my music room.  The setup is great -- very easy to press down the strings; the nut and the bridge are set perfectly.  (By the "nut" I am not referring to the new owner.)
The tone and volume are unbelievable!   My laminate bass sounds tinny in comparison to the rich warm tones that bounce out of the Calin Wultur. 

Okay, finally I have a serious double bass, one worthy of professional performances.  Now I need to find a group to play it with.  That will be my next goal.

The Calin Wultur is the first bass on the left in the photo.  

My music supplier told me that he sold his Hans Kroeger bass and also bought a Calin Wultur Panormo, the very same bass.
