I am a proud owner of a Turkowiak double-top guitar purchased through Marcin Skawinski at the Happy Guitar in Olsztyn, Poland. The guitar is a piece of art with California Black Walnut Burl and Amber inlays on the crown and elevated fingerboard. The double top flamed Old-growth Redwood and Western Red Cedar combine for deep basses and forever-sustain.
I wanted something special for the rosette, understated but artistically beautiful. Turkowiak accomplished that with inlaid African Ebony and Amber. Beautiful!
You will be interested in the many detailed innovations patented by Rafal Turkowiak, far too many to mention here. Go to the Happy Guitar website for a full description of #545. It plays as smoothly as it looks. The offering is full and resonant. Perfect for those slow dramatic Bach Sarabands and the cello suites we recreate without the sustain of a bow. Creatively combining great sound, technical innovations, and fearless woodworking is the mark of a true craftsman. After all, this is about making inspired music!
After falling in love with Turkowiak guitars, you might have reservations about ordering a Guitar from Poland. Don't be! I live in the USA, in Northern New Jersey. Marcin and I communicated frequently via email and social media. Marcin answered my concerns and questions promptly and with care. The team certainly earned my trust and respect!

Now I am inspired to step up my game to match this great-sounding, beautiful instrument!
