PD Guitars is a company that creates guitars by hand. It is created by Piotr Długosz. The guest of Radio Wataha's antenna was also Tomasz Wolski, who composes music, among others. for documentaries.
Tomasz Wolski - in music for 25 years
Tomasz Wolski has been involved in music for 25 years. During this time, he composed and performed music for various occasions and special requests. His tasks included, among others: creating a specific piece on commission, as well as playing it and - as he put it - "conducting it as best as he could". He worked mainly abroad, but in Poland he managed to write music for two documentary films. As he himself claims, he started his musical career before 1989 and at that time he was mainly involved in playing in restaurants, bars and other catering establishments.

Ragtime on Radio Wataha
Tomasz Wolski performed ragtime on our Radio. “A hundred years ago, Scott Joplin, the creator of the beginnings of pop music, died,” says Tomasz Wolski. “Ragtime is the beginning of American music. Such a foundation includes, among others: jazz or even rap. In a word, ragtime started pop music in the United States," he adds.

Musicians build Norway
After emigrating to Norway, Tomasz Wolski started working in the construction industry. It is not an isolated case in which excellent artists left Poland for the Viking Country to earn money. The same goes for both Krzysztof “Frytt” Frymarkiewicz or Dominika “Domika” Łuczyńska (check out their new single >>>). Tomasz Wolski, asked by Łukasz Pawłowicz whether the above-mentioned performers are going in the right direction, replied: "If everyone tries to do something that they feel and convey something that they think, and at the same time tries to do it in such a way as to help someone else, this is heading in the right direction. Because every creator helps someone not financially, but spiritually. And this is beautiful".
Handmade guitars
On the antenna of Radio Wataha, as part of the same broadcast, we also hosted Piotr Długosz, who deals with the creation and regeneration of guitar instruments in Norway. Each guitar is constructed for a specific person, and thus PD Guitars does not engage in mass production. He himself adheres to the principle that "a musician should change the instrument if it begins to limit him. You don't buy an instrument for its appearance and color, but for its sound.
Many components of a guitar
On Radio Wataha, Piotr Długosz revealed how the preparation of each instrument looks like. It turns out that in any case, many factors determine the final character of each guitar. Initial consultation includes the way of the grip, the type of music played, what sound it needs, etc. Only later are decisions made, such as the shape and appearance of the instrument or the type of wood it will be made of.
