The Duke Archtop is an extraordinary Acoustic Bass, which fits somewhere between Double Bass and Acoustic Bass and is incredibly enjoyable. The Multiscale-fingerboard is easy to play thanks to the flat neck, the rather slight fan (compared to other manufacturers) makes it very easy to get used to.

Wow, that sounds quite different from my acoustic bass "conventional" design. The bass sounds like bass, sounds like bass, sounds like bass ... What you hear has foundation, dynamics and volume.
