I never knew about the bass bar. I presume that a violin made for a left-handed player would have it placed on the other side.
Curiously, there was no mention of the sound post on the treble side.

Any idea what they sound like?

I played one of these a few years ago, it was for sale. I liked the tone, but it was quiet.
