Weissenborn Musicians Showcase | Richard Wilson's Weissenborn Guitars in Action
Exploring the rich tapestry of musical expressions, our Musicians Showcase playlist is an ode to the acoustic artistry of Richard Wilson’s Weissenborn Guitars. Just as each wood type, be it Hawaiian Koa or Tasmanian Blackwood, lends a unique timbre to an instrument, so too does each performance in this collection bring its distinct flavor to the fore.
This selection of videos, curated with care, stands as a testament to the versatility and enchanting sound of these expertly crafted instruments, each echoing the meticulous craftsmanship we value in our own range of Weissenborn guitars.
Immerse yourself in a realm where the resonance of strings and wood weaves a diverse narrative. The playlist begins with Ben Harper’s anthemic "Gold To Me," played on a Richard Wilson Weissenborn Guitar for 7,500 fans in Vienne, France, setting the tone for a journey through a spectrum of musical styles.
From the inviting melodies of Jacob Raagaard’s "Joshua Tree" to Kim Churchill’s evocative "Loving Home," each piece in this collection is a showcase of the profound impact a finely crafted instrument can have on a performance.
The playlist is as much about the musicians as it is about the instruments. Featuring artists from various backgrounds, it illustrates the universal language of music. Jaimi Faulkner’s captivating cover of Tom Waits' "Picture In A Frame," and the delta blues-infused depth of Bad Temper Joe’s "If Tears Were Diamonds," are prime examples of how a Weissenborn guitar can transcend cultural and stylistic boundaries, much like our own instruments that find homes in diverse musical landscapes across the globe.
Jock Armour from Maui, Hawaii, brings a touch of the islands to every note he plays on his Weissenborn guitar. His performances, imbued with the spirit of Hawaii, pay homage to the roots of the Weissenborn’s history. On the other side of the spectrum, we have Stephen Houpt in Texas with his RW Baritone Weissenborn. His playing reflects the deep bond between musician and instrument, showcasing the personalised touch we strive for in every piece we craft.
At the core of this playlist is a celebration of lutherie – the art of crafting stringed instruments. Each Weissenborn guitar, skilfully created by Richard Wilson, is not just a musical tool; it's a piece of art.
The craftsmanship mirrors our ethos at RW Guitars, where the creation of every guitar is a journey of artistic discovery and technical mastery. We invite you to engage with this playlist as more than just viewers; we encourage you to be part of a community that appreciates the beauty of music and the dedication behind crafting these instruments.
The Musicians Showcase is an invitation to experience the harmony between musician and instrument. It's an auditory exploration that parallels our commitment to crafting guitars that are not just tools for music, but conduits for creativity and passion.
