Double Bass Garland Definition

[Ned Smith]

Reading H. S. Wake book. What part of a DB is the "garland?"

 

[Ed Fuqua]

Basically the full rib assembly. The “outline” of the bass if you will…

[james condino]

All of the ribs (aka sides), the neck & tail block, plus the linings; basically the whole body assembly minus the top & back plates.

The Wake "book" is pretty minimalist; Peter Chandler's "So you Want To Make a Double Bass" book has much more information.
