Product Overview
Inspired 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.
Palatino introduced the upright Billy Bass with treble-side cutaway to meet the needs of bass players who want increased upper register access. Of the few cutaway upright basses available on the market, the Palatino Billy Bass offers an unparalleled combination of quality, style and value. The Billy Bass gives you all the quality youÂ’ve come to expect from the Palatino name with the extra bonus of access to the upper fingerboard area. The Billy Bass produces resonant bowed tones, but maintains classic warmth and crisp tonality. The adjustable maple bridge makes it easy to install a piezo pickup
PalatinoÂ’s 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 brandÂ’s strong commitment to the educational market.
