Advanced Instrument Making Classes Please scroll down for more information

Brief Program Outline:

Classes are designed for the violin maker who has completed primary studies and wishes to enhance their skills in specific areas of the craft.

3 different programs are offered:

• Varnish - making varnish, the application process, and working the varnish to achieve the desired visual and acoustic results.
• Setup - Setup is responsible for easily 50% of the players and audience’s response to an instrument yet there is remarkably little understood and incorporated into modern instruments.  Full setup will be reviewed from the bass bar to the finished instrument.
• Woodworking - Learning a flexible approach to building that allows the maker significantly more leeway to modify each instrument in ways that build upon previous experience, incrementally.

The duration of each class is flexible depending on the participants and subject. All classes will take place in my shop located in Fayetteville, AR.

Classes are offered throughout the year, visit our class schedule page.
