The Arco Double Bass comes in all sizes down to 1/8. This instrument is great sounding although it is made of laminated plywood. The finger-board, as well as a great complete set-up in our onsite workshop ensure ease of playing and enjoyment. The appearance may vary. Some Arcos are lighter, some are darker, some are shiny and some are matt, depending on the batch, but they all have an ebony finger board and are properly set up.
