Lovely, touching story and a beautiful bass.  May you share a long and musical life together.

Thank you again for all the kind comments.  I'm very fortunate on many levels about this bass.  Much very so  to all at Alembic, as we all are.  I constantly enjoy and grow with the bass every day.

Very nice bass and I wanted to comment before on the engraving...whoever is doing it is very good!!! I'm a goldsmith who does some, so I know...Tony
