Instruments
(String Tinkers)
My interest in creating instruments was the confluence of my love for both music and architecture. I have always considered Luthiery as the “Zen” of the woodworker.
It is the mastery of the hand, the tool and an understanding of construction and the properties of one’s materials. To make an instrument “voice” successfully, you must employ all of these factors. It is this challenge that excites me as a woodworker and builder to design and construct an instrument that others can make sing. I am eternally fascinated by the varying techniques utilized in the fabrication of all instruments that allow them to withstand the structural demands necessary to sing their beautiful song.
