Overview
Overview
Richard Newman was born in 1964. He studied classical guitar in the mid 90's under Richard Wright (now head of guitar at the Yehudi Menuhin school of music). He learnt much about tone production from his studies and set out to find a good guitar with a traditional "old world sound". Failing to find the desirable instrument, Richard enthusiastically decided, as he had worked with wood for many years as a tree surgeon, to try to build his own guitar. Richard built a handful of guitars, and with much encouragement from players, left his job and enrolled in a full time guitar making course at the London Guildhall University in 2001. After completing the course, Richard set up a workshop in Ascot, Berkshire, where he builds around twelve guitars a year. Richard builds using very little machinery, concentrating on using traditional hand tools and glues, as he feels it is important to be in touch with the materials while maintaining control over his work. Richard has also received much guidance and advice from professional players and other makers over the years, also study many master guitars, and this has helped him evolve as a maker and produce well balanced guitars with a low body resonance and fine projection. Richard continues to create guitars with the same passion and enthusiasm as that very first build.

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.Look all products of the collection -
