Making Master Guitars is the major reference book covering the history, design, and construction of the Spanish Classical guitar. It supersedes all other books on the subject, and is the only reference required by those wishing to construct instruments based closely on the work of the world’s greatest luthiers.
Making Master Guitars is a craftsman’s handbook, and is unique in that it includes nine separate plans of instruments made by the following internationally famous makers: Antonio de Torres, Hermann Hauser I, Santos Hernandez, Hernandez y Aguado, Ignacio Fleta, Robert Bouchet, Daniel Friederich and Jose Romanillos. The author has examined many instruments by these makers, and where possible, the factual information in the book was obtained from the makers themselves.
This text includes descriptions on how to make a Dometch recorder, banjo, tambourine, snare drum, Appalachian dulcimer and Hardanger fiddle.
This volume includes 30 playable instruments to build, as well as information about how string, woodwind and percussion instruments really work. The book also includes materials lists and detailed step-by-step instructions.
Shows how to make percussion, wind, and string instruments, including gongs, balloon drums, sidelblown flute, natural horn, and a wooden saxophone.
