Up for sale is a fully carved Calin Wultur Panormo double bass, made in 2008 in Reghin, Romania. I purchased this as new in 2010 from Ken Smith. At the time it had a cleated repair (according to Ken done by either Arnold Schnitzer of Jeff Bollbach) which has not been an issue. It most recently was appraised at $7500.
It is considered to have a 7/8 size body with 3/4 mensure. Eb neck. From the appraisal:
Description
This bass is a 3/4 size instrument with violin corners and a round back. The
top is made of spruce, the back and sides of maple. The varnish is a reddish
brown. The bass is in very good condition. The bass has a Fishman Full
Circle pickup installed, which has a value of $230.
In our opinion this instrument has a replacement value of $7,500.
