Rafal Turkowiak - 2024 Opus Prime 64 cm No. 679

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.

The Rafal Turkowiak Guitar No. 679, known as the “Opus Prime,” represents the next evolution of Turkowiak’s artistry, following the acclaimed "The Queen of Guitars" model. This unique instrument features a spruce double-top, providing exceptional volume and playability. A standout feature is the innovative “Acoustic Tube” inside the neck, enhancing the guitar’s resonance and creating a rich, enveloping sound that fills any room with warmth. The trebles are warm and sweet, while the voice separation is precise, offering a balanced and inspiring playing experience. This guitar offers an amazing playability, thanks to its 64 cm scale and great neck shape. This remarkable guitar exemplifies Turkowiak’s dedication to blending artistry and acoustic excellence, delivering joy and satisfaction to any guitarist.

Rafal Turkowiak - 2024 Opus Prime No. 679 Classical Guitar Review

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • 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.
