Tirga Mhor

The Tirga Mhor is our take on a 000, borne from Rory’s long discussions with Martin Simpson about all things guitar. The Tirga Mhor is designed with with an open voice enabled by the 12th fret bridge position with lots of 'spit' in its powerful attack. As with its sister model the Tirga Beag, the Mhor has good separation across a very dynamic range.

Tirga Mhor, pronounced ‘Chigora Mor’ is Harris’s second highest peak. She faces north east looking out over the forgotten ridges of North Harris and on to the plains of Lewis.
