You saw the photos a couple days ago, and here's a quick demo. This is the six-string Gagliano we built for Dan Kinchen, based on Blake Hinson’s 1781 Gagliano. Flat back, ambrosia maple, and strung B to high C. We went a little wild on this one, and we love it. Dan will be bringing it home, but until then, it's on display at ISB in Tallahassee – come see and hear it in person! #UptonBass #SixStringBass #Gagliano #DoubleBass #DreamBass #ISB2025 #BassMaking #AmbrosiaMaple | Upton Bass String Instr

A new Santagiuliana build in the works, this one for Rothschild. If the pattern looks familiar, it’s the same model we built for Blake Hinson. Elegant and powerful. This one’s the first with light Bosnian maple, a wood that combines poplar’s warmth with maple’s clarity and attack. A great classical bass: proportionate, easy to play, and full of bottom end. We love making dream instruments like this. Get in touch if you have a dream bass in mind! #UptonBass #SantagiulianaModel #DoubleBass #Uprigh

Sneak Peek: Santagiuliana Model If you’ve been following us, you’ve seen Blake Hinson with the copy we made of his Santagiuliana. Here is another version of it, for our great friend Nick Feigenbaum, with a single-piece ash round back and some beautiful shading in the varnish. This bass is made to be super playable. Perfect for players who want something responsive, comfortable, and elegant. We love this model and can’t wait to bring it to the ISB convention in June for players to check out. If y
