Since 1986
Around 800 guitars built, measured, played and refined in a private family workshop.
Acoustic Innovation Lab
Where traditional lutherie reaches its limit, research opens the next voice. Turkowiak innovations turn disciplined acoustic R&D into response, projection, intonation and an identity that feels unmistakably personal.
Signature innovations
Start with the systems that make a Turkowiak instantly recognizable: A.R.S. architecture, signature amber and the precision of ArcFret.
Instrument construction
A.R.S. System
A solid-wood resonant composite. Hard inner layers reflect the sound wave, a softer core controls mass and acoustic impedance, and the body gains exceptional dimensional stability.
Amber identitySignature Amber
Semi-transparent Baltic amber becomes a living visual signature, glowing through BackLight and HeadLight details especially under stage spotlights.
Fingerboard geometryArcFret
Curved frets are calculated for perfect intonation across the fingerboard, helping every position speak with cleaner pitch and control.
Research that becomes a guitar.
Since 1986, around 800 instruments have built an archive of proven construction. Experimental work stays in the lab until years of building, measuring, listening and refinement make it ready for a lifetime instrument.
Hear the resultPurpose first
A new idea earns its place when it improves sound, stability, comfort or identity without compromising the instrument's voice.
Proven before commission
Experimental structures stay in the lab until years of building, listening and refinement make them ready for a finished instrument.
Lifetime proof
A Turkowiak invention must serve identity, durability and voice for a lifetime of use.
Beyond the signatures
Further Turkowiak research lives in the details: neck stiffness, soundboard architecture, bridge mass, comfort and player-side response.
01
Acoustic Tubes Neck
Resonant neck architecture developed for greater stiffness, stronger sustain and clearer player-side response.
02
Floating ArmRest
Comfort for the forearm without damping the vibrating top.
03
Sigmoidal Sides Joint
A structural side joint developed for cleaner transfer through the body with less mass in the rim.
04
Impedance Bridge with Stiffening Wings
Winged bridge construction reduces mass and helps control impedance mismatch for stronger projection through the guitar body.
05
Hollowed Pinless Bridge
Openwork pinless bridge wings keep high stiffness at very low mass, damping less of the vibration passed to the soundboard.
06
WAVE / S-WAVE Resonator
A non-conventional soundboard system for an ultra-light, stable top with a larger effective vibration area.
07
Offset Soundhole
A player-first soundhole brings the guitar closer to the ear, revealing every brush of the strings and the full weight of the bass.
08
Rosette Tornavoz
An ultra-light curved-wood rosette collar that works like a tornavoz, shaping the air resonance for a deeper, more focused low voice.
Built for a lifetime.
Every invention earns its place only after years of building, listening and adaptation. When it reaches a Turkowiak guitar, it must serve one player, one voice and a lifetime of use.
