That is a common early strad type bass - an 8 bass. They can be played with limited rhythm keyes - 3 chorders (I IV V) in C & G and a 4 chorder (I II IV V) in C. you don't worry about 7th chords - just get the 7th from the melody. useful for simple folk tnes in restricted keys and for beginners and children.

How many black and white keys? and any regiser switches (to change the sound thru switching in/out banks of reeds)?
