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

You can buy an instrument with (I think) as little as 10% down and the interest rates are low.

     "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."​
