Volante Touring Double Bass

The Volante touring double bass reproduces the natural sound of a traditional 3/4 size upright bass but in a compact, portable, option making it significantly more compact and easy to travel with.  When unfolded the Volante looks very like a traditional upright bass. When played it provides the same support points to the player.  A simple mechanism adjusts the string height. Assembly and disassembly operations are quick (under 4 minutes) and easy thanks to the patented neck joint and collapsible soundboard. Watch the master at work in the video below.

The Volante takes up far less space than a traditional upright bass due to its folding soundboard wings and to a neck joint that allows the neck and pegbox to fold down to 45”x12”x12” making it easy to carry by car, plane or even on foot. It weighs less than 11kg. For safety and security when travelling by air an SKB flightcase is included. Cased the total weight is approximately 19kg
