Arnold Schnitzer 5\/8 Double Bass (2022, No. 56)
\nAmerican-made, high-end craftsmanship in a smaller scale<\/p>\n
We\u2019re proud to offer this remarkable 5\/8 size double bass built in 2022 by Arnold Schnitzer. This is instrument number 56 from Arnold\u2019s workshop, built after his move to Las Cruces, New Mexico, and it shows his commitment to making truly professional instruments at every size.<\/p>\n
Arnold applied the same level of detail, artistry, and tonal ambition you\u2019d expect in his larger 3\/4 or 7\/8 models, distilled perfectly into a more compact form. The result is a serious, professional-level bass with a distinctive voice and elegant aesthetic.<\/p>\n
Highlights and features:<\/p>\n
5\/8 size with a comfortable 40-inch string length \u2013 ideal for players seeking a responsive, manageable instrument without sacrificing depth or projection.<\/p>\n
Pennsylvania walnut back paired with Claro walnut sides. A natural oil varnish finish lets the wood\u2019s beauty speak for itself.
\nEuropean maple neck and carefully carved spruce top add clarity and warmth
\nClassic Schnitzer purfling and scroll design.
\nRubner individual tuners.
\nClear, even tone across the range. Works beautifully for both arco and pizzicato playing.<\/p>\n
This smaller bass is built to the same uncompromising standards as Arnold Schnitzer\u2019s larger basses. A perfect choice for a professional player seeking a smaller bass that doesn\u2019t feel like a student or scaled-down model, or for someone looking for a solo instrument that plays effortlessly yet still commands presence.<\/p>\n
A rare chance to own a master-built, American-made bass that proves high-level craftsmanship belongs at every size.<\/p>\n
