John Mills

John Mills has used my guitars for both solo and ensemble concerts.

"The instruments made by Rohan Lowe continue the great tradition of Tarrega, and are superbly clear in sound with wonderful separation of voices, but at the same time having a warmth for more expressive romantic repertoire."

Cobie Mills

Cobie Mills first came into contact with my guitars while husband John Mills was borrowing one from me, using it herself for performances and a demo. recording.

"I have found the guitars of Rohan Lowe ideal both for solo recital performances and chamber music, in terms of their tone and carrying power."

Recently Cobie commissioned a new X-braced classical guitar from me. You'll find photos of it here.

" ...I have been playing your guitar and it is wonderfull!
There is so much character in the sound and the bass is so warm, it is developing all the time and it is very comfortable to play."

Simon Davies ( Arada Duo )

Simon plays a guitar which he bought in 2006

Rohan's guitar is wonderful. It is an instrument which provides me with every possible tonal colour, sweetness of tone and effortless power. But above all, every time I pick it up, it still suprises me!

Michael Hulmes

Michael has been playing his spruce/indian rosewood guitar for 14 years now and he tells me the sound is still developing.

"Everywhere I play I get comments on the clarity, volume and beauty of the guitar. Before visiting Rohan I had tried out a dozen fantastic models from around the world, but nothing came close to this guitar for sheer enjoyment of playing."

John Feeley

John Feeley, Irelands leading classical guitarist got to know my instruments early in my career as a maker. In 2008 he purchased a new spruce/indian rosewood guitar.

"Rohan's guitars are finely crafted, the sound
well-balanced, with a beautiful tone."

Paul Gregory

Paul has owned several of my guitars over the years.

"The quality of tone and power has repeatedly provoked comment and interest. In my view the important factors that constitute a fine instrument
are the ratio between tone quality and volume, combined with playability, all of which my instrument has in abundance.

Over the years I have witnessed Rohan's output of instruments, some of which have been among the very best concert guitars that I have ever had the pleasure to play. Anyone who has seen these instruments will tell you that the craftsmanship and aesthetic design are exemplary."

Osam Yoshida

Sendai Japan

The qualities I like on Rohan's guitar are these;
(1) Sound is big and has possibilities. Especially the treble (2nd) I like.
Easy to put my heart and soul into one note.
(2) When playing chords, there is good separation of voices.
(3) The quality of the wood of which you used for the guitar is high.
(4) The tuning machine are very nice. Design is very handsome.
(5) The guitar suits all kinds of music and especially Baroque music.
