Greetings!
"Hi!"
More new models! Really!!! With the Brescian, Concord & Klotz out in the world, we are now rounding out three other new models! The First Mittenwald's are finishing up (and should be on the site soon!) and are sure to be a success as it conforms to many of the key elements from our award winning Brescian model, as well as a very unique "small" bass (more to come in future issues) that is just about ready for varnish, and now a Roggeri under way...we are geeking out here in the barn over bass shapes and the different schools of making.
Also under way are some very serious basses for the upcoming ISB. We're planning on doing it BIG this year...if you're within driving distance and/or a Upton Bass player...you're going to want to keep watching your eMails for some very cool announcements.
Check out the latest videos Gary has done on YouTube and be sure to add your feedback on FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. letting us know what you think!
Drop us a line or call any time. And remember... the best is yet to come!
