A Sensational New Taran Tirga Mhor Arrives!

Rory has a large collection of the highest grade tonewoods and uses a variety of (mostly) hand tools to craft his instruments. With an in-depth understanding of the materials he uses, each set of wood is treated with an individual, mindful and knowledgeable approach, to ensure it reaches its maximum potential.

With over a decade of practice, experience and wisdom, Rory is constantly trialling new processes, designs and experimenting with the instruments he makes. A recent development is the use of 'Compression Braces', a bracing system unlike any we have seen before. In a nutshell, this is a hollow bracing structure which supports the cylindrical back profile of the instruments, whilst remaining as light and flexible as possible. You can find an in-depth blog about this feature here.

 

We absolutely love the Taran Tirga Mhor model and couldn't resist bringing another one in. The Tirga Mhor is Rory's take on a 000 and also the product of a long discussion with his friend and guitar virtuoso Martin Simpson. The Tirga Mhor is designed with with an open voice enabled by the 12th fret bridge position with lots of 'spit' with its powerful attack. This guitar features a stunning African Blackwood 4-piece back, paired with an Adirondack Spruce top. With a subtle fan fret, it is an infinitely comfortable and responsive instrument, the ultimate player's guitar.

 

"The Dowling Signature is a series of my guitars which allows me to propel tonal developments and aesthetics. The DS8 is my 120th guitar." says Rory.
