Creating Emotions

Time and time again - My customers experience what I experienced the first day I played a Dowina through to this very day - every day I communicate with Dowina - pickup a Dowina or listen to one.

The intense emotions that these guitars can elicit is impossible to fully explain but it is no doubt the culmination of the human spirit - artistry - creativity - passion and dedication that goes into every single one.

Each guitar is its own work of art - its own symbolic expression of truly human emotions.

Art Meets Craft

Acoustic guitars built with love - passion - and artistry - by hand - at a price you can afford - In Europe!

The Spirit Of Dowina

Please do watch - I am sure you wont regret it!

I (Richard & owner) created this video with the sole intention of hoping to convey the genuine spirit and unique approach Dowina have to the guitars and each other.

A custom build can tell the story of your life

Whats Your Story?

Remembering Chilli

One of our customers wanted to remember his beloved Pug who had died recently.

The Dowina team very tastefully provided him exactly what he wanted - How beautiful is this?

And yes - His name was Chilli.

Being Mindful :)

I wanted a Dowina that players on a lower budget could not only afford but could demonstrate that LESS can be MORE.

With a deliberately stripped back look this guitar reminds us to be mindful. To be in the moment and free from worry.

From £799
