In a string instrument, the bass bar is a brace running from the foot of the neck to a position under the bridge, which bears much of the tension of the strings. Bass bars are used:
- In the members of the violin family;
- In the members of the viola da gamba family;
- In some archtop guitars;
and in many other string instruments.
