Madera Forest friendly You’re Part of the Solution

Ecologically friendly, responsible acoustic guitars made of woods from well managed forests are rare. Certified “responsible” instruments made by ethically run Mainland China factories are even rarer. With Walden’s Madera Line, guitarists can make purchasing decisions that both serve your musical aspirations and take part in reducing the over consumption of world resources.

The all-solid wood Madera line is built with certified FSC-100% traditional guitar tonewoods such as certified FSC-100% solid Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), certified FSC-100% solid Western Red cedar (Thuja plicata), and certified FSC-100% solid Central American “genuine” mahogany (Swientenia Macrophylla). With an FSC Chain-of- Custody (COC) certification, all woods on the Madera are tracked from Built at the Walden Guitars forest to finished instrument thereby guaranteeing its responsible factory, Versen Musical Instrument Co., LTD, origins. These woods are stiff and sawn perfectly on-quarter, FSC-COC certifiction maximizing tonality, voice and stability. We permit visual character # SGSHK-COC-006824 inherent to wood such as mild bear claw and winter growth lines.

Obtaining products from organizations with COC certification and building with FSC-100% materials is the only way you can trust that the instrument is genuinely constructed of woods from responsible sources. FSC, the Forest Stewardship Council, is the leading independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.

Walden chose the name Madera for its association with the Spanish word for “wood.” Guitars in this line can be easily recognized by a Scan the QR code with distinctive pearl headstock embellishment shaped like the Chinese your smartphone to watch Responsible ● Ethical ● Certified Walden Madera videos. character “ 木 ” for wood.

It's 9 a.m. at the biggest pub in Estonia, in the biggest summer resort in the country, it's raining, the room is filled with harmonicas and lederhosen, we've been driving since 6 o'clock and the coffee machine is broken.

Our harmonica festival shows aren't scheduled to start before the evening but our harpist has insisted on entering the competition; Indrek's jittery and I'm sleepy, he walks away with Silver. A fellow musician points to my T550 and goes: "The bass lines were pre- recorded, right?" "Nah, just me and my Walden... "

Dennis, the American whom we're to back that evening, is still recovering from a late night, so we're off for pancakes in the rain.

Ten hours later Dennis and I are on the concert hall stage with my partner Martin, winging it in front of TV cameras and trying to look as worried as the black-tie audience. "I learned a new song tonight," Dennis brags backstage. "We learned two," I shoot back. "Well, I'll have two more for you tomorrow," he grins. A grey-haired gentleman in an impeccably white suit walks up: "Thank you very much! My wife insisted that I tell you: your playing on that slow blues was so beautiful, it brought tears to our eyes."

It's Friday night and there're five more shows to do with Indrek and Dennis. On Sunday Steve's flying in from London and we hit the road.

As long as they fix that coffee machine...
