A heartfelt tribute to Toronto’s legendary Riverboat Coffee House—where songs became stories and stories became classics. The Riverboat Series spans three voices: a commanding Dreadnought, the perfectly balanced Riverboat “Just Right” (OM), and an intimate 00 parlor. Each is built entirely from solid tonewoods: a AAA-grade Adirondack spruce top, bookmatched Bolivian rosewood back and sides, a quarter-sawn mahogany neck, with maple binding and abalone purfling.
Playing Adirondack spruce for the first time is a revelation. Expect extraordinary dynamic headroom, long-singing sustain, and overtones so rich they feel orchestral. The Dreadnought delivers room-filling power and depth for players who want commanding projection, rich bass, and effortless vocal accompaniment; the OM keeps everything “just right”—focused mids, articulate response, and effortless versatility; and the 00 offers intimate immediacy with surprisingly deep bass for its size.
Adirondack-topped instruments have long been prized for their extraordinary dynamic range, rich overtones, and powerful voice — qualities that continue to deepen and mature over a lifetime of playing. The Riverboat Series was created for musicians who want more than specifications alone can offer: instruments that inspire creativity, reward nuance, and become trusted musical companions for decades to come.
