Hey All,
As i understand it, Ralph is still building (i hope i'm not wrong) and still hasn't got around to a website.
Does anyone have a current email or phone number that you could PM me please?
Regards David

I don't, sorry - but Ewan McLennan had a new Bown not too many years ago I think, so he might be a good place to start if you don't get anywhere here. Otherwise I think dreadnought28 has a few Bowns so might know? Hope you manage to get in contact with him! George

That’s why John Renbourne, Clive Carroll, Martin Simpson, Henry Kaiser, Catfish Keith, Peter Rowan, Graham Coxon, Ewan McLennan and many others play them.

You could probably find a great player for any top guitar-maker you wanted. Well, there are "great players" and there are discerning players who require the ultimate in tone and quality. So many well known players are known for just playing the guitar, but Renbourn, Carroll and Simpson will go down in history as the greats of fingerstyle guitar; they are not interested in bling or hype, just great tools which enable them to express themselves. So, it means a lot that they choose (chose) Ralph's guitars. Jonny
