How old is the double bass has the Pyrenees?

The double bass, as a musical instrument, has a rich history that dates back to the early 16th century, evolving from earlier string instruments. The Pyrenees region, known for its diverse cultural influences, has its own traditions of string instruments, but the double bass itself is not specifically tied to that region. If you're asking about a specific double bass from the Pyrenees, additional context would be needed to provide an accurate age.
