Rive Gauche
The Rive Gauche is the magic of a slender mahogany and poplar shell, composed of just three plies for rich bass, with chamfer reinforcements for efficient, flawless projection.
Available in a wide range of sizes and finishes, the Rive Gauche, so named to recall ASBA’s long history of keeping the clubs on the left bank of the Seine dancing, is a piece of jewelry crafted, assembled and stained with the utmost care.
Because it’s the voice you’ll use to express yourself, and it should make you proud!
