A clear-cut note, without the strings floating : it's the wood that vibrates immediately yielding a rich tone. From a solid bass the whole spectrum declines to the highest harmonics. Nothing in the least disturbs the precision. The tactile timbre suggests a whole pallette of colours. The width and compactness of the range of sounds offers an alternative to the problem of power. Without a frontal shock, but with fluidity, the air starts to vibrate. Linked to a wide open voice, the sustain guarantees the expressiveness of the "glissandi" and the slowest "legati".

The depth of the field of action conserves all the precision even to the slightest whisperings, without saturating the "forti". From the open string right up to the sound board, the sound remains homogenous. Each string offers a nuance blending delicately with the others, allowing voice leadings that are well-separated and compatible with each other in the chords and other polyphonic arrangements.

The decline takes place uniformly throughout the spectrum, without inflexion.
