The Capriccio Double Bass comes in all sizes down to 1/8. This instrument has a solid spruce top, wheras sides and back are ply. It is most important for the sound to have a co-operating top, as the bridge transmitts the vibrations of the strings onto the top.The ebony finger board, as well as a great complete set-up in our onsite workshop ensure ease of playing and enjoyment. The appearance may vary, but usually it has a shaded varnish, from golden to dark brown.
