This Vilagio Panormo from Scala is a seriously impressive instrument, especially if you appreciate the classic Italian sound. The solid build and Ioan Bucur’s attention to detail really shine, making it ideal for orchestral players or those seeking a warm, focused tone with that low B string adding extra depth. It’s a premium-priced option, but the quality justifies it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Panormo’s slightly smaller body and altered arching generally produce a more focused and direct tone, often described as having a quicker response.
Ayhorn is less common, but proper humidity control (45-55%) is always recommended for solid wood instruments to prevent cracking, just like any fine double bass.
Single machine heads require more careful tuning and occasional adjustments, but they are characteristic of traditional instruments and don't inherently indicate instability when properly maintained.
