Natural Timbre is an instrumental studio album by the rock artist Steve Howe. It was released in 2001 on Eagle Records. Steve uses only acoustic string instruments, such as guitar, mandolin and banjo. While some tracks contain only guitars, others have his son Dylan Howe on drums, Andrew Pryce Jackman on piano and glockenspiel - he used to play keyboards with a band called The Syn starring bassist Chris Squire and guitarist Peter Banks - and Anna Palm on violin. The last three tracks are instrumental interpretations of songs from the band Yes.
