ABSTRACT:
A stringed instrument of the violin or viol family is provided having an improved bassbar. The bassbar is elongated and has an attachment surface adapted to conform to the interior surface of the top face of the violin. The bar has a generally constant traverse width along the bottom length of the bar at the attachment surface. In an intermediate region of the bar, the transverse width of the bar increases from the attachment surface to the top region of the bar. The height of the bar in the intermediate region is greater than the height of the bar at the end segments, thus resulting in a convex area along the length the bar in the intermediate region. Thus, mass is added to the top region of the bassbar in an intermediate portion of the bar.
