The Volantes main advantage is that it reproduces the natural sound of a traditional upright bass but in a compact, portable, option making it very easy to travel with.

When unfolded the Volante looks very like a traditional upright bass. When played it provides the same support points to the player.

A simple mechanism adjusts the string height. Assembly and disassembly operations are quick (under 4 minutes) and easy thanks to the patented neck joint and collapsible soundboard.

The Volante takes up far less space than a traditional upright bass due to its folding soundboard wings and to a neck joint that allows the neck and pegbox to fold down to 45”x12”x12” making it easy to carry by car, plane or even on foot. It weighs less than 11kg, including carrying bag. For air-travel an SKB flightcase with roll is available. In this configuration the total weight rises to 19kg.
