Double Bass Austrian luthier Franz Feilnreiter

[DanL]

My double bass was made by Austrian luthier Franz Feilnreiter ca. 1864

Does anyone know anything about this luthier?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you - this is the very same bass... I had some rather extensive work done on it this past year a number of very old repairs were coming apart... and now it is playing great! I was looking for any add'l info on the builder.
