Palatino - Upright Bass VE-500

Description

nspired by old world craftsmanship and the artistry of Italian design, Palatino takes its name from a central hill in Rome where ancient emperors built their palaces. It is from these origins that provide Palatino its passion for incredibly crafted and meticulously detailed musical instruments.

Since 1994, Palatino has been devoted to bringing together the beauty of tradition with the strength of contemporary technology to classic instruments for the world to enjoy.

Palatinos line of string instruments include violins, violas, cellos and basses, most of which are hand-carved and offered in golden brown or oil varnish finishes. Palatino violins were the top selling student violins in 2003, signifying the brands strong commitment to the educational market.

After ten years of continued success, Palatino reintroduced its line of wind instruments in 2004 with a family that included trumpets, clarinets, flutes and saxophones. Redesigned trumpets available with nickel/silver valves and saxophones with die cast keys were just some of the new items developed for the market. The glorious line of winds matched Palatinos efforts for quality, durability and affordability of musical instruments.
