Join me, Rosie Heydenrych, luthier and founder of Turnstone Guitar Company, as I explore the distinct tonal qualities of a TD model guitar crafted entirely from English-grown woods: English Yew and Fenland Black Oak.
In this video, I'll explain my wood choices and their impact on the guitar's sound. You'll also hear guitarist Stuart Ryan's professional take and demonstration of this unique instrument.
Since 2015, we've been blending traditional and locally sourced woods in our guitars. The E-series features exclusively English timber, and this TD model is our first all-English dreadnought.
Commissioned by a client, this guitar features a 12th fret neck-to-body join, English Yew for a sweet, chime-like soundboard, and 5,000-year-old Bog Oak for rich, earthy back and sides. The neck is made from English Cherry, adding a warm tonal balance.
You'll also see our signature features like the rollover arm bevel, side soundport, and English Tudor Rose inlay.
After Stuart's demo, hear his insights on the guitar's unique qualities, including its 'elastic' note compression and piano-like depth.
Enjoy the sounds and share your thoughts on this instrument! Don't forget to subscribe for more videos from Turnstone Guitar Company :)
