Rafal Turkowiak - 2022 Doubletop No. 472 Cocobolo

Rafal Turkowiak - 2022 Doubletop No. 472 Cocobolo

Overview

Rafal Turkowiak was born in Golanice near Leszno, Poland, on 9 January 1966. His father, a carpenter, and grandfather, a wheelwright, had a great influence on him in the field of carpentry and wood technology. Twenty years of guitar-making and experimenting with a very scientific and modern approach brought him to develop construction concepts improving the resonance of the guitar: the “WAVE” structure.

This brand new guitar from Rafal Turkowiak is numbered 472. It has a cedar double top soundboard with cocobolo back and sides. The wood combination creates an appealing look, which also makes this guitar more than just a musical instrument but also an artwork. This guitar has many modern features that improve acoustic quality and playability, for instance, the famous “Acoustic tube” inside the neck, to give the latter a more significant role in the overall resonance of the guitar.
This guitar requires minimal effort for players of all levels to achieve a room-filling tone. The outstanding balance of this guitar also makes it a perfect musical instrument for various needs. An excellent and inspiring guitar that brings a lot of satisfaction and supports the player in every respect.

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
