Railings for a right angle enclosed stair case?

[Mr. Apollo]

I want to replace the cheap railings that the building put in on one set of my basement stairs. It is enclosed on both sides so I just need railings, no bannisters or anything. There are 6 steps then a landing with a 90 degree turn and another 6 steps. I'd like the railing to be flow continously from the top so I need some sort of connecter piece to join the railings at the corner. However, I can seem to find any railing kits or any place the offers anything liek this. I've been around to the big box, and smaller hardware stores and while they have tons of railings no one has anything like this. Do they exisit and if so what is that style called? Thanks! :-D

I included a rough drawing of what the stair look like and what I want to do with the railing (in red).

You can only do that with a custom built railing because of the landing at the corner where you have a 2-step drop unless you want a higher railing along the lower stairs.

Someone suggested gooseneck and up easing to solve this. A "gooseneck" to raise the first section of wall rail up, and then an "up ease" to transition to the second section of wall rail. Neither of them turn a corner, but they would each be mitered at the ends at 45 degrees so that they would form a 90 degree angle when put together. I have a drawing showing profiles for both types of fittings, imagine the up easing is turned to curve up and out of the page, and the two are mitered to form a right angle.

Your suggested solution looks good to me.I believe you'll find everthing you need at Fairbank Lumber.
