Steve's grandfather was an ornamental caster in Austria. He took his family out of Europe to escape the war, settling first in St. Louis and finally in Northern California. Steve has inherited his grandfather's talent of transforming natural elements into practical and beautiful works of art.
In 1991, Steve Klein and Bob Taylor began designing the AB series acoustic bass, which is now in production in southern California.
