Here is what Martin Simpson had to say about it;

"I think that Rory Dowling is an excellent luthier. He is obviously influenced by Stefan Sobell, and I can think of no more marvellous a builder to use as your model. His attention to detail is excellent, his woodworking and finishing is of the best. This guitar was crisp and responsive. It was extremely strong in the treble with very good separation. I'm sure that Rory is on track to be one of Britain's most creative and successful guitar makers."

Tirga Beag MK 1

For Sale an Indian Rosewood and Italian Spruce Tirga Beag. I built this guitar last year, it is a slight variation of my standard Tirga Beag. As you can see from the photos the soundboard is a little more curved than usual, this helps with note seperation and gives the guitar a wonderful pressence when flat picking. This is the Guitar that Matheu Watson used to record his brilliant album last year, if you would like to hear the guitar in action please visit his website www.matheuwatson.com or listen to the album on spotify.

The bingings are Brazilian Mahogany with Sycamore Purfling, Ebony Bridge, Pins and Fret Board. Brazilian Rosewood Head Veneer and Gotoh 510 Tuners. The Width at the Nut is 45mm and 57mm at the saddle. The Scale is 650mm. The Guitar comes with a Hiscox Case.

£1600 THIS GUITARS IS NOW SOLD

Please do look back as there will be more guitars over the year for sale here.
