Step by step, you'll make seven violins and a cello. You'll learn it all, from traditional making techniques to varnish, setup, and playing.
You'll have the opportunity to study the work of great makers of the past and to meet great players of the present.*
You'll learn how to reach the Luthier's goal: to make instruments beautiful to the eye and ear.
*Over the years our students have seen great violins like the Soil Stradivari and the Kochanski Guarneri; great players such as Hillary Hahn, Yo-Yo Ma and Isaac Stern; and great contemporary makers like Sam Zygmuntowicz and Gregg Alf.
