The musical layout
Specify string material, fretted and open-string counts, tuning and whether the open strings will be plucked or used sympathetically.
Nylon / Individual design enquiry
Nylon Harp Guitar
A bespoke design enquiry for a fretted voice with additional open strings.
The playing brief
Begin with the idea.
A harp-guitar brief begins with musical purpose: the pitches of the open strings, the fretted range and how the two will be played together. This is an individually assessed design commission, not a fixed catalogue model.
Access and structure
The additional strings change the load and physical layout. Reach, balance, support and transport dimensions must be considered before the design is agreed.
A design discussion first
Feasibility, materials, specification, timing and price are established individually. No photograph here is presented as an existing Turkowiak harp-guitar model.
Workshop craft
A design conversation.
A harp-guitar brief begins with musical purpose: the pitches of the open strings, the fretted range and how the two will be played together. This is an individually assessed design commission, not a fixed catalogue model.

A few useful answers.
Is there a standard harp-guitar model?
No fixed model or universal specification is offered on this page. Each enquiry is assessed around its musical and structural requirements.
Can I send sketches or a tuning diagram?
Yes. A string-by-string tuning plan, reference instruments and a description of your playing position are useful starting points.
