The Thomann 22 3/4 Europe Double Bass features Artino strings, which offer a fast response and facilitate orchestral tuning. This instrument supports both the arco and pizzicato playing styles. The Tyrolean machine heads offer excellent tuning stability. The solid spruce top helps retain clarity under a heavy attack and is well-suited for musical styles that demand a wide dynamic response. The arched maple back helps attenuate overtones from the top. The ebony fretboard helps elongate sustain. This saxophone includes a Bellacura care set comprising a microfibre cloth and 20ml of Bellacura.
