New Guitars

• New Model 15  "Trout" :  "Last week I had the pleasure of playing a new handbuilt guitar by Kevin Turner who operates Chinook Guitars here in Calgary.  It's a small bodied instrument that is very well suited to fingerstyle playing with a clear, bell-like tone and plenty of volume.  If you are in the market for a distinctive instrument you may want to check this one out."

• New Model 16
  • This new guitar is nearing completion and should be ready to go by summer.  It's becoming quite beautiful due in no small part to the gorgeous "bearclaw" Sitka top.  The back set is Wenge, a dark brown African wood with a brilliant tap-tone and it's being trimmed out in Rosewood.

  Used Instruments
   

• Old Hopf Violin:

  • This Violin is a German made "Hopf"  from about the 1860's,and It is in very good condition. It has a gorgeous rosewood fingerboard, as well as Brazilian rosewood pegs. The genuine leather case is not in the best shape, but it does date from about the same period as the violin.  This Violin was owned and played by Roy Warhurst, a famous Canadian Fiddle player.  Recent professional setup with new strings.  Please contact us by e-mail if you would like more information or pictures.

     
• Antique Student Violin:

  • This antique Violin, currently owned by Roy Warhurst, is thought to be at least 100 years old. It has good tone and plays well and would make an excellent  student or intermediate violin. Recent professional setup complete with new strings.  Why learn on an expensive new violin when you can learn on a much older, truly handmade violin.  Please contact us by e-mail if you would like more information or pictures.
