Dowina Bona Vida (Nylon)

[RJVB]

I find Dowina's BV very cute looking, and might even consider getting the nylon-string version ... but there are so very few videos/recordings of them.

Anyone hear own one, or know of recordings of them?

Thanks!

I don't know about that specific model, but they are generally very fine guitars, Moloney Music in Galway stocks them. A well known Irish/Australian guitarist called Steve Cooney plays one and gives a very favourable review on YouTube.

Dowina make very fine guitars indeed, they give the impression they still make true acoustic guitars (= not meant to be used plugged-in chiefly). They're nice folks too.

I kind of regret that I ordered a Seagull jumbo rather than a similar model from their line-up (harder to find, a bit more expensive, a bit bigger, probably a LOT nicer).

I know the video Cooney put up, and I've seen other videos; this is really about their Bona Vida.

I've got an Alpine spruce /Granadillo BV.
Lovely looking guitar, easy to play, well made and sounds louder than the size would suggest.
The guitar sounds 'pretty' with nice overtones and sustain but with a good clarity also.

Lovely indeed!
(But why isn't she listed in your signature? )
