Bass Sales
March 6, 2024
Dear Bass Friends,
Check out the Guaneri page for pictures and the story of the BRAND NEW Guaneri model!
​
Soon there will be a similar story for yet another model based on a Testori also owned by the Minnesota Orchestra.
​
Seth is pretty well booked up for 2024 bass-making wise, but there's always 2025, so get in touch any time.
​
For occasional process photos, sometimes featuring Epli the Icelandic Sheepdog and Jerry the cat (our older cat, Bumbles, disdains the paparazzi), follow Seth on Instagram @sethkimmelbass.
Play what you love; love what you play.
​
peace,
LauraRose

Click the above logo for a link to a credit union that gives loans to its artist/musician members for artistic endeavors such as purchasing an instrument. They let students co-sign loans with their parents and they are pretty flexible about how you show your income, too. You can buy an instrument with (I think) as little as 10% down and the interest rates are low.
The president is even a bass player!

"At no point have I felt like I was being 'sold' a bass. Rather, I felt like this was a collaborative process and that the goal was to work together to create an instrument that would be the newest and finest double bass made in America. I truly believe you have succeeded with #20."​
