Heading up to the Pittsburgh Bass Symposium to participate in a fantastic show. I’ll be showing our two newest models, copies of William Gilkes and Italian Venetian model. The original model of the Italian is owned by Joe McFadden who will be at the show! We’ll also have a recent restoration of an early French bass and lots of bows. I look forward to seeing everyone!

Introducing the William Gilkes copy, the newest model in our shop offerings. This bass is modeled of the amazing original instrument currently in our inventory. 3/4 size, violin cornered with sloping shoulders and deep ribs. This is a fantastic model for bassists of any size. A huge refined tone with lots of cushion and an impressive high end. The wood is beautifully flamed with a dark reddish brown shop made oil varnish. Come on by we would love to show to you!

Yes, we will have the John Frederick Lott Sr. bass at the ISB this week. This is a spectacular bass and example of his work circa 1820. Most likely made while he was employed by Thomas Dodd as the varnish is typical of Dodd's mastery. This bass is amazing visually as well as having staggering playing capabilities. The bass has just recently been overhauled in our shop complete with a neck graft to update the geometry to perfect modern standards. The work also included new fingerboard, bridge, endpin and a Bass cellar completely adjustable chromatic C extension.

As promised, attached are some pictures of the newest model from Lakeberg, Roberts and Stetson. This first bass was made in the shop by Bill Lakeberg. This model will now enter into the rotation of the luthier trio. The bass was patterned off of Chris Brown's incredible 1770's Italian. This bass has a spectacular one-piece Ohio Cottonwood back with matching ribs. We will have this bass and many others at the ISB convention. Make sure to drop by our booth and give the bass a whirl.

We have a minor milestone with the completion of our Moses Tewksbury copy #40! Bill Lakeberg, Chris Roberts and Andy Stetson have combined their skills for 12 years perfecting this model. Finished just in time for the ISB convention. We are caught up on orders so this bass is for sale! We'll have the bass with us at the show. Stay tuned in the next days for pictures of our newest model taken from Chris Brown's 1770's Italian beauty!
