The advantage of the Internet

Posted on May 6, 2013 by npcarey

Search engines and the internet are wonderful things. What did we do before we had the internet to find so much information?

Soon I was searching and finding lots of interesting and useful links to sites with a lot of information to offer on how to build all sorts of instruments. I’ve been collecting instrument-making links, and books ever since. There’s almost nothing out there that you cannot find if you take the time to look. I soon discovered the Musical Instrument Maker’s Forum and the Guild of American Luthiers (GAL). GAL publishes a great quarterly journal called “American Lutherie“, which I have been subscribing to since 2005. Anyone interested in building or repairing musical instruments should join the GAL.

And soon I was discovering vendors who specialized in tools and materials for string instrument building, especially Stewart-MacDonald and Luthiers Mercantile.
