Easy and gratifying to play; very good fingerboard, very accessible upper positions, quick response. Warm sound that’s even across the register. Plenty of volume. Rich, "dark caramel" varnish color is elegant and well-done. Already drilled for the angled endpin.The bass has been very well cared-for and retains its original gloss. An outstanding asset for all types of playing!
