I bought it from its first owner who commissioned it as a five string, with the option to convert it easily back to four string if desired. I have kept it in this configuration but it was supplied with two bridges and a clever mechanism for the fifth tuner. The varnish was damaged when I bought it, so the bass has had a new varnish and set up by George Martin including a new bridge and bottom nut. I have used this bass professionally as my second instrument, including at my job in the Hallé and freelancing with the BBC Philharmonic, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It is a smaller bass but doesn't make a small sound, and is great in a chamber or solo setting as the scale length is very manageable. This would be a great instrument for a student, especially one needing the low notes.

The bow was last seen stored in a black Concord brand single bass bow case. The bow was stored inside the bow case along with a slip of paper containing my name (Gordon Smith), email address, and phone number. Handkerchiefs were also stuffed into the bow case to prevent the bow from moving inside the case. Ms. Lipkins wrote a description of the bow as follows: The French style bass bow is a Sartory model. The pernambuco stick is octagonal in shape, of a light brown color and is stamped, "S. LIPKINS N.Y." The ebony frog is mounted in sterling silver, with Parisian eyes. The button is solid, of sterling silver with ebony core. With mastodon tip and silver winding, this bow weighs 142.6 grams. The red arrow in the picture shows the location of the brand stamp "S.

Very solid reliable bass. The previous owner had a new, thicker ebony fingerboard and bridge fitted with professional adjusters in 2006 by the late great London luthier Roger Dawson which replaced the cheaper fingerboard and bridge that were on before.This considerably improved the power, sustain and playability of the bass which makes it a lot better than this type of laminated bass. It is very easy to play and has a very big sound. It's strung with Thomastik Spirocore which still have a lot of life and growl in them. The bass is loud, punchy and a great option for someone who just wants a gigging bass that's super sturdy and who doesn't want to worry about damaging a more valuable bass.

See https://mpenning-luthier.co.uk/instruments/basses/penning The double bass was only played for 2 years. The maker developed this model with both the orchestral player and the soloist in mind. His aim is to create enough power and quality of sound to stand out in an orchestra, whilst having focus and great dynamic range at the upper register. With ergonomics at the forefront of this design, the bass is extremely manageable and geometrically balanced. This instrument has a strong classical elegance borrowing from the Cremonese and English making Schools.
