Upright is proud to begin offering Kolstein Travel Trunks and "Busetto" Travel Basses for rental

June 2007
Upright is proud to have been chosen by Barry Kolstein, owner of Kolstein Music, one of the top the bass restoration shops in the World, to to handle the transport of one of the most precious instruments in the history of the upright bass in Jazz, the late Scott LaFaro's Prescott bass.

"I have repeatedly relied upon Jack's efficient and reliable transport services ranging from supplying reliable transport for such prestigious artists as Miroslav Vitous to recently being entrusted with the renown LaFaro Prescott in it's transport to Avatar Recording Studios in New York City. Jack delivered the Bass for Marc Johnson to record for the first time since the late Scott LaFaro recorded the Bass for the historic recording with Bill Evans, "Live at  the Vanguard". I felt completely confident with Jack handling the transport of the LaFaro Prescott to and from my shop. He handles each project with the utmost expediency and professionalism at most reasonable pricing. I highly recommend him and would trust him to handle any level of transport of the most valued of instruments and clientel."
