"The name Helvo has a funny origin. When the all-blueish artwork was finished I felt that something was still missing and added a little red brush stroke. Almost immediately Iit reminded me of the painting Helvoetsluys by JMW Turner and the story behind - if you're not familiar with it just google the name of the painting. I suppose my subconscious wanted to pay homage to the great painter". Maurizio

G5 Samarkand 2013-2023 $3800
I built the original G5 Samarkand in 2013. Last year I had the opportunity to buy it back and decided to upgrade it to the highest level of craft and creativity we have achieved in the ten years since it sold. The bass was disassembled, each part sanded back to bare wood, reshaped, modified, upgraded. We replaced the old ebony fretboard with a new one, added a Macassar ebony back laminate, reshaped the neck profile for a faster feel, replaced headstock front and back plates with new ones, added oval MOP inlays, matching olive/wenge knobs. We designed custom parts specifically for the Samarkand, envisioned creative solutions where we had to. Replaced the old bridge with a new one, signed by me... redesigned the cavity and its cover. Everything about this instrument is unique. For perspective, a new instrument with all these upgrades would cost more than $4700.
The Samarkand is now at the very pinnacle of what we can offer. and I am proud - albeit a bit sad - to offer it to you. yet again.
