The Science Of Fretted Instrument Making
Do you think of instrument-making as an old-world craft? Well, it doesn’t need to be, as Daniel Brauchli’s work goes to show. He’s using science and innovative design to bust the myths that surround instrument construction. A luthier is someone who builds or repairs string instruments generally consisting of a neck and a soundbox. The word "luthier" comes from the French word luth, which means lute. A luthier was originally a maker of lutes, but the term now includes makers of stringed instruments such as the violin or guitar.
