Special shapes

We love to experiment.
And some experiments work out pretty well.

There are many essences of acoustic sound and these two unconventional models offer you a whole new way of looking at it. The warm and open sound of a Hybrid or the vivid sound of a Bona Vida, we let the decision up to you.

Hybrid

Spontaneous idea transformed into perfect instrument

First Dowina Hybrid was created as a custom order for a fantastic Ireland based musician Steve Cooney. As a professional player he was looking for a robust and full sound while enjoying the comfort of nylon string. That’s how the Hybrid was born.

Hybrid’s special bracing pattern emphasize the acoustic quality of our premium top plates.
