Rafal Turkowiak - 2022 No. 462 Black Diamond
Overview
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 wonderful instrument is a model “Queen of Guitars – black diamond” and is numbered 462. This exclusive guitar has a bewitching arched back made of highly figured Amboyna Burl, giving the center stage a light sapwood part in the middle. The cedar top has an outermost light lattice bracing reinforced with carbon fiber to provide excellent responsiveness and lightness. Of course, this instrument features the famous “Acoustic tube” inside the neck, to give the latter a more significant role in the overall resonance of the guitar.
It is astonishing how little effort one needs to put into the right hand when playing this guitar, in order to produce a room-filling tone, so that the player has the feeling to be completely surrounded by the sound of this instrument. The trebles are clear, and the separation of the voices is perfect. In addition, the balance between bass and treble is also consistently even. A really wonderful and inspiring instrument that brings a lot of satisfaction and supports the player in every respect.

Classical Guitar
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 -
