I have posted a couple of pictures here that I took while there, but I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about this or may have any inside knowledge. He wouldn't say who it was or what the selling price was. He said that the seller was renowned musician that recently retired. The guy in the booth said that this was recently sold to the museum in the town of Salo to display and loan to " deserving musicians" for ocassional concerts. In a very prominent booth at the entrance to the show was a 1590 Gasparo de Salo bass on display. It was a very large show with lots of luthier and luthier's supply booths including tone wood suppliers, tool vendors and many high quality violins, cellos and some basses on display and for sale. On a recent vacation to Italy, I attended a violin maker's fair (called Mondomusica) in Cremona.
