plays with ease, featuring its sloping shoulders and ergonomically shaped body and rib transitions.  We have many players loving these &#8220;big&#8221; basses who&#8217;re many inches short of six feet.  <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our work on a direct replica of a Kloz pattern double bass, and the building of a bigger instrument in the same style led us to define this Upton Bass model.\u00a0 The contrabasses from the Mittenwald school are characterized by a high-shouldered gamba pattern with deep ribs, resulting in a fine orchestral double bass. Our version incorporates all the ergonomic improvements and geometries found in other Upton models, with great flexibility in sizing afforded by the stout German pattern. The gamba pattern, especially when combined with a flat back, allows us to build this upright bass in the 5\/8ths sizing of the Kloz copy, all the way up to a large 7\/8ths pattern built to lift a string section or push a big band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#div_id\">Submit a Mittenwald Inquiry<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all Upton Basses the <strong>Mittenwald<\/strong> model Upton Bass is available in three build styles, with a full array of add on and upgrade items to choose from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hybrid Flat Back, <strong><em>from<\/em> $9,000<\/strong><br>Solid Wood Flat Back, <strong><em>from<\/em> $12,500<\/strong><br>Solid Wood Round Back,<strong> <em>from<\/em> $15,000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*We have entirely custom commission slots available at all times and amazing tone wood selections to build you something truly one of a kind.
