Benedict’s inspiration comes from the many spectacular and beautiful instruments that have passed through his workshop.  Benedict draws his greatest inspiration by concentrating on Italian classic models.

Currently available is a modern version of a Vincenzo Panormo Double Bass, which has proved to be extremely popular with not only orchestral players, but also jazz players alike.  Inspired by Ceruti, Benedict is currently working on a new model.  Generally, Benedict uses carved backs and Violin corners, however commissions are accepted.

LATEST WORK:

Australian Made, Internationally Played

This Double Bass, made by Benedict G. Puglisi in Melbourne, Australia is now available in the USA.  Benedict’s many years of acoustics studies, coupled with decades of making, restoration and repair work on the Double Bass have all been applied to this instrument to produce a truly playable and beautiful sounding Double Bass.

This majestic model is inspired by the work of Vincenzo Panormo.  The instrument features a highly figured Austrian Maple carved back with matching ribs, neck and scroll.  The carefully selected Spruce is from the St. Moritz region in Switzerland.  The machine heads are Benedict’s own design and are distinctive to his instruments, which help to crown this unique Double Bass.
