"Sirente" is modelled after a master bass attributed variously to Nicolo Amati,  or Daniel Parker, probably over 200 years ago.

Whoever made the original, it is a unique form and a powerful bass.

My bass is made from Silky Oak back and sides, Western Red Cedar top and Tasmanian Blackwood neck. Blocks and braces are cedar, and the purfling  s tasmanian Huon Pine.

Where is the "Sirente" name from?

Monte Sirente is a mountain in Abruzzo, italy, that overlooks the tiny villages of Molina Aterno and Castevecchio Subequo

There's an interesting story about a meteorite hitting the mountain in the middle ages, causing a tremendous roar and flash of light.
