Welcome to the world of exotic custom-made classical and flamenco guitars as designed and individually handcrafted by Daniel Turner — a passionate advocate of instrument making as an enduring form of structural and visual art that has evolved, through the years, from the designs of Spanish guitars which were created in the 2nd half of the 19th century by innovative Spanish luthier, Antonio Torres Jurado of Almería, Andalucía.





Dime si las notas majicas de la negra Flamenca ya endulzan el susurro del viento, cual alberro enamorado de la blanca luna de Cadiz, ... dime si brilla el fulgor de su penetrante negro, acariciando la suavidez de sus sonoras cuerdas terzadas, ya Bella Negra y fulgurosa, despierta de tu sueño enamorado y echa a volar tu canto ... Bueno, un poco de poesia para inspirar al Maestro Guitarrero, que forja con sus manos la bella obra maestra.

It finally arrived !! :) I was so happy this morning; it made my whole day. The instrument is very beautiful, you did a wonderful job ! The sound is very rich, crisp, and has a nice attack. It can definitely be played well, either loud or softly. Thank you for all the time you spent on it; it was worth the wait.

Belo trabalho. Daniel Turner é um gênio. Ainda encomendo um blackwood ow Brazilian Rosewood, em fim quero um violão espanhol feito por Daniel Turner.

Diego L.  São Paulo, Brasil





Somehow, I can sense the sonic potential of the Ebano already. The sound seems to be getting better by the hour! Is that possible? The Ebano is starting to get to know my touch and is responding to my playing better and better. Two things are particularly obvious to me. The action is so much faster and my slurs are coming through so much better than on the other guitars I've played. It is easier to play. I just can't put it down. Thank you Daniel !!!

I am in bewildered awe of your artistry and am greatly anticipating playing a guitar that comes from your workshop.

Gregory P.  Statford Springs, Connecticut, U.S.A.

I've had the guitar for almost 2 weeks and wanted to give you my feedback. I think you know that I was Director of Product Quality when I was working, so I can be pretty critical. Don't worry, the feedback is all good !!! You are one hell of a great luthier !!!

Deseo felicitar a Daniel Turner por el desarrolo profesional en la construcion de estas guitarras flamencas, las cuales suenan fantastico.

Telmo Eduardo R.  Córdoba, España





I need an instrument that I can call exceptional both in beauty and sound. For me a Guitar has always been a work of art and I also believe that a guitar should be an extension of the guitarist's body. Music is an art - so should the instrument be a masterpiece. Your guitars are marvelous instruments.

Cesar T.  New York, New York, U.S.A.





Yo quiero algo diferente sin renunciar a un sonido puro, y al parecer, usted me lo puede ofrecer, asi que le animo a la superacion con mi instrumento pues estara sometido a juicio por grandes entendidos del flamenco, por mi parte me gustaria transmitirle mi mas leal confianza en sus manos.

Your guitars come highly recomended. You have a beautiful two-tone guitar on your site. What kind of wood did you use for the back and sides? (Siam rosewood)Is it some kind of sapwood and do you have one for sale?

Javier Mauricio C.  Bogotá, Colombia





Je fais confiance à votre intégrité d'artiste et à votre signature pour que vos guitares sonnent vraiment flamenco. Je crois comprendre que c'est dans le savoir-faire de la fabrication que vous agissez pour élaborer le son flamenco. C'est certain que pour les choix de matière et de fabrication c'est vous le Maestro. Son, timbre, facilité de jeu ce sont les points clés. Beauté et excellence de la fabrication révèle la magie de l'instrument et de l'artiste luthier. Sa sonorité, l'expression de son timbre, "su alma" est sa quintessence.

Jerome Q.  Paris, France

I enjoyed playing your guitars during your visit to Tokyo. You are a very good craftsman and your French polishing is very high standard. I especially like your negra guitar made with Maccasar ebony and Port Orford cedar.
