Benedict’s smaller double bass, “La Piccolina” is the perfect fit for me. Don’t let La Piccolina’s petite proportions fool you though – the sound she produces is by no means small! People often tell me that my bass not only sounds impressive, but is also visually captivating. La Piccolina is a work of art. I love playing my double bass and can’t imagine ever parting with her.
