Turkowiak Guitars - Rafal Turkowiak

The most important for us is the sound and the look of the guitar. Each piece of the instrument has to be perfectly made. All the guitars are made by the Turkowiak family only since 1986. We specialize in acoustic-body guitars (classical / acoustic / nylon-string jazz / flamenco / etc.) made in both traditional or contemporary design with offset soundhole. The innovations are extremely important for us that's why we have invented:

• ACOUSTIC TUBES inside the guitar neck - the musician hears sound not only from the guitar body but also from the guitar neck, the sound is richer, sustain longer and the neck much stiffer (Patent European Patent Office EP 3340231 (B1) Acoustic Tubes)
• special construction & bracing inside WAVE type resonator - the guitar soundboard resonant area is highly increased, the construction is much stiffer at lower mass what makes it possible to vibrate more freely
• back & sides made HIGH-TECH PRESS - the wood densification and special chemical modification to acquire desired resonant parameters of the wood
• SIGMOIDAL (S-shape) JOINT of the guitar sides - increased stability of the joint and better distribution of the tension at the sides joint (Patent European Union Intellectual Property Office 008177463-001)
• IMPEDANCE BRIDGE with STIFFENING WINGS (for nylon-string guitars) inlaid with natural Baltic amber - through this special construction, the bridge’s mass has been significantly reduced, which positively affects the sound propagation at the guitar body. The winged construction allows for a better sound projection and control of the impedance mismatch (Patent European Union Intellectual Property Office 008177463-003)
• BRIDGE with DRILLED HOLES (for steel-string guitars) - through this special construction, the bridge’s mass has been significantly reduced, which positively affects the sound propagation at the guitar body. An openwork construction allows for equal distribution of force and majorly reduced tensions in the soundboard
