Bass description:
"The Liandro DiVacenza Orchestral Bass is a very high quality, solid carved bass. It is a bass that we designed for a shop in Eastern Europe and is full cut 3/4 size of the modified 7/8. It has violin corners and is flat back in design. The bass is finished with an antiqued varnish and has a very large, dark, robust sound. It is not a mass production instrument -- only 10 to 12 basses are made per year. The Orchestral model has met with fantastic response from both jazz and orchestral players. Naturally, the bass is set up with all the hallmarks of the Kolstein shop including the Kolstein Adjustable Bass Bridge with ebony adjusters, full Kolstein dressing of the fingerboard, tonal adjustment, a Kolstein Fendt brass collar endpin with convertible carbide point-crutch tip, Kolstein VariCor Excel bass strings.
