Since the 1960s, different ESAs were made ​​with small orchestras under the bridge, mini - corpus or bass -like ESAs.

There are also e- bass models with respect to a double bass reduced corpus. Also need these to play in an orchestra or band sound pick-up and amplification. For training purposes, but their volume is often sufficient. Advantageously, it is relatively soft sound while practicing in flats or hotel rooms.
