【For Pickup by Michelle Only】Chaki F-25 Double Bass (Manufactured approx. 2000)
This is a listing for a Chaki double bass (F-25, possibly from 2000).
I was interested in Chaki double basses, which are reputed to have high specifications among domestically produced mass-produced double basses, and I acquired an F-25.
There were cracks on both sides of the scroll, but they have been repaired at a workshop. (Photos 6 & 7)
I am not very familiar with the detailed specifications, but according to related websites, they are as follows:
Top: Solid Spruce
Back: Maple Plywood
Side: Maple Plywood
Fingerboard: Ebony
While some fingerboards appear to be made of maple that has been dyed, this instrument seems to have an ebony fingerboard. (The tailpiece appears to be painted.) Additionally, I have requested the bridge (string height) and soundpost to be adjusted at a workshop.
Chaki instruments are known for their individual variations, but this instrument has a remarkably calm and resonant sound for a top-only solid wood construction. (The strings are used but are Flexocor.)
Apart from the scroll area, there are no noticeable scratches, peeling, or buzzing, so it appears to be in very good condition.
A Toyo Gakki soft case (Photo 10, used, good condition) is included as an accessory.
I am listing this item as 【For Middle/High School/University Students - Pickup Only】 with the hope of providing a good quality instrument to students in brass bands, orchestras, string ensembles, or clubs who are relatively new to playing the double bass.
