When I was searching the internet for second hand alembics I found  
this ..... Does anyone know this Polish handbuilder?  
 
I've never heard of him or his brand/name Kania, but I think this guy is doing a real piece of art to!  
 
He seems to be famous with his handmade Upright-basses ...
Check out the bass-part on this site!

Looks like he's borrowing designs from other small builders like Marchlevski, Jerzy Drozd, Ken Lawrence ... even his Jazz clones are based on other builders' Jazz clones.
