Listing Info

Vermont Instruments is a teaching lutherie begun in 1983 offering private and small group tutorials by appointment. Students design and build their own instruments from raw materials. Acoustic and structural design, jig-making, inlay and repair are woven into a personalized course of study to accommodate each person’s interest, skill level, and experience. Courses are designed to minimize the need for expensive equipment and specialized jiggery. It is expected that a student can continue their own creative work using small-scale power tools and common hand tools.
<a href="http://www.vermontinstruments.com/building-courses/ukulele-building" target="_blank">Ukulele Building Course</a> - A two week course in Ukulele building. Students will choose materials and trim options, and learn how to build a soprano or tenor ukulele from scratch, not a kit. Students work daily with Adam Buchwald, an experienced builder/repairman most recently from Brooklyn, NY. Adam will build an instrument along with everyone else during the course. We follow the hand-building tradition, not the factory model. We wish to further the craft by incorporating useful modern techniques with traditional wisdom.
