Additional information:
It features violin corners and gently sloping shoulders. The string length is shorter and it is perhaps a better choice for bassists who play a lot in the upper register. The sound is more direct and less "puffy", with excellent definition and considerable "growl". La Scala features a round back but can be special-ordered with a flat back.
