Frequently Asked Questions
Conical sides allow the sound to project more freely and respond more quickly to bow changes, resulting in a more immediate and vibrant tone.
The lion's head is primarily decorative, but its placement subtly affects the bass's vibration patterns; it's a design detail reflecting Rubner's artistry.
The shorter scale is advantageous for players with smaller hands or those seeking a more agile and responsive playing experience, particularly for solo work.
