Double Bass
What is a double bass?
The double bass, also known as the contrabass, bass fiddle, or upright bass, is the largest and lowest-pitched bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra. It typically has four strings, which are tuned in perfect fourths (E1, A1, D2, G2) and played with a bow or by plucking with the fingers (pizzicato). Its size and shape resemble a larger version of the cello, and it is a crucial part of orchestral music, jazz bands, and other musical genres. The double bass produces deep, resonant tones that provide the foundation for harmonic frameworks and rhythm, making it indispensable in ensemble and solo settings.

Product Description
AVB-01 Double Bass Features
Ariose Music’s Double Bass typically features characteristics tailored to accommodate new players while still providing a quality musical experience. Here are some key features:
- Size and Scale: Beginner basses come in smaller sizes (1/2 or 3/4 size) to fit younger or smaller players comfortably. This makes it easier to handle and play.
- Construction Material: They are often made from more affordable woods like plywood or laminate, which are durable and less sensitive to humidity and temperature changes, ideal for beginners who are still learning to care for their instrument.
- Sound Quality: While the sound may not be as rich or complex as professional models, beginner basses still offer a clear, consistent tone suitable for learning and early performance.
- String Setup: The strings are usually set up to have a lower tension and a comfortable height above the fingerboard, reducing the effort needed to press and play them.
- Adjustability: Many beginner models come with adjustable bridges, allowing for easier setup and maintenance.
- Accessories: Beginner double basses often come with essential accessories like a bow, a soft case for transport, and sometimes a rosin, making it a complete package for new learners.
