What is instrument making?
Making an instrument is fine woodwork with acoustics attached. Guitars, ukuleles and violins all need thin, accurately worked timber, bent sides and careful bracing, and a millimetre matters more here than almost anywhere else in woodwork. Courses run long because the work cannot be hurried, and many are residential for that reason.
