Taran Tour 01


So after being in touch with you all the guitar which was most popular was the Tirga Beag my large OM model. (please visit my website www.taranguitars.co.uk for the spec)

I've decided to build her out of Indian Rosewood and Italian Spruce (red spruce), for the neck I'm thinking about using Madagascan or Honduras rosewood.

Here is the raw materials for the back, sides and front. Stefan Sobell was kind enough to sell me some Indian that he has had since May 03. 7 years in his workshop means that it is extremely well seasoned and sounds very similar to good quality Rio.

For detailing I haven't quite decided on it, there maybe some colour or just simple, elegant black and white, it will be of the usual Taran Style however.
