About

Do you play a guitar, violin or cello but aren't sure how to care for it? Or are you curious about whether a stringed instrument that's been in the family for decades is suitable for a student to use? Are you interested in learning luthier skills?

At this event, you can meet others interested in creating a luthier program at BARN, which might include informal get-together sessions, programs on topics such as tone wood, and classes such as building a dulcimer or learning to create inlays. It's a great opportunity to get answers to your questions and share your suggestions.

Discussion leaders will include Wayne Johnson, owner of Irvin Guitars, who makes fine hand-crafted acoustic steel-string guitars; Clay Levit, a fiddle player and former owner of the Fiddler's Green Music Shop in Austin, who makes violins; and Rob Carson, a cellist and stringed instrument maker with formal training in violin restoration and repair.
