Double Bass Falls

* String Kingdom

Double Bass Falls is a series of large waterfalls found by the Glissando Peaks that connects Glissando River to Lentando Lagoon. The central cliff resembles a large double bass guitar with Glissando Waterfall acting as the "strings" of the guitar.

## Geography

The area around Double Bass Falls is full of both plant life and wildlife, due to the abundance of fresh food and water. This region contrasts greatly to that of Glissando Peaks, whose cliffs are rocky and barren. While the area features several large waterfalls, the biggest can be found at the double bass guitar-shaped cliff, acting as the "strings" of the cliff. This site is especially popular among tourists. All waterfalls are listed below from northernmost/westernmost to southernmost/easternmost:

### Allegro Waterfall

Despite being the smallest of the falls, it flows surprisingly fast. This waterfall doesn't directly connect to Lentando Lagoon, instead branching off to merge into Trill River.

### Decrescendo Waterfall

Decrescendo Waterfall, while not being very interesting by itself, is home to Decrescendo Temple, a large dungeon full of waterfall-themed puzzles and platforming challenges. In terms of size, this waterfall sits right in the middle.

### Staccato Waterfall

Staccato Waterfall is the second-largest of the falls. By the base of the waterfall lies Bass Base, which is a military camp used specifically to train Double Bass Defenders.

### Glissando Waterfall

The biggest and most famous of the falls. It resembles the strings of its surrounding guitar-shaped cliff. Tourists heading to the String Kingdom will often come here to appreciate this waterfall's majestic grandeur. Glissando Waterfall directly connects Glissando River to Lentando Lagoon. The "soundhole" of the guitar-shaped cliff is actually a large cave found behind the waterfall and contains the powerful Stringed Violinator.

### Legato Waterfall

This waterfall is the third-largest of the falls, as well as one of the calmest. A cave found by the waterfall's base leads to a ruined underground temple, which houses the gravesite of a Singing String. Some Stringed Beetles can be found in this cave.

### Tremolo Waterfall

This waterfall, despite being the second-smallest of the falls, is both extremely rapid and extremely dangerous. Many rocks will often be washed down from the fast currents, creating falling hazards for anyone trying to pass through Double Bass Falls. To add even more danger to the situation, the waters are filled with deadly Violanhas.

### Pizzicato Waterfall

This waterfall is found quite close to Pizzicato Plateau, which is how it got its name. Due to fear of the dangerous Guitar Psycho, not many people travel to this waterfall. It is the third-smallest of the Double Bass Falls.

## History

The majority of Double Bass Falls is uninhabited, save for some temples made during the Prehistoric Stanza and some small farming villages found close to Lentando Lagoon. Because of this, wildlife has flourished in the area, which made it a popular tourist destination during the Second Stanza.

Several historians in Stradivarius also talk of the history of Double Bass Falls, even discussing the odd nature of the guitar-shaped cliff by Glissando Waterfall. While there is talk over whether the double bass guitar-shaped cliff was man made or not, the game provides no real answer, instead leaving it up to the players to decide.
