This bass is a joy to play. It has a full and even tone under the bow, and reaching thumb position is a breeze. It speaks quickly with a rich voice in pizzicato.
Don't let the compact outline fool you, this bass packs a lot of power and a full, warm tone. The Busetto is tailored to fit the modern bassist: it solos with ease, handles section work with power and presence, and is easy to transport.
The outer linings and scroll boast hand-carved facets to compliment the elegant Busetto outline.
