Dowinas from Maloney's are not baloney!

I really want one of these Dowina nylon hybrids.

This dude was married to Sineid O'Connor for one year.
Incredible guitar!



Hey, that's a Whitesnake tune...

I don’t have a good nylon string guitar. I had a few junker, Spanish things, during my early years, when I mainly played steel string acoustic. Now, the only nylon string guitar I have is a broken, student model that my son used to play.

I noticed that Chet Atkins seemed to favor playing certain nylon string guitars during his later years. They’re certainly easier on the fingers. They seem to accentuate fret hand, string noise. But, I’m sure I’d eventually get used to it.

I only play steel and nylon string guitars. I'll play more electric once I master those.
I enjoy the sound of nylon strings. Steel too. That's why I play both. My nylon is a fairly inexpensive Yamaha. It went for $500 5 years ago. It's a fun guitar to play, and I wouldn't need that Dowina. I love the way the Dowina looks and sounds though. Also, my grandparents on my Mother's side immigrated from Slovakia to Chicago during the last Roaring 20's. The original Dowina shop made violins and overlooked the Devin castle.
