5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent outline construction guide for several instruments, 9 Feb 2000
By A Customer
Do not expect detailed construction instructions - for that you may want to look at his book on lute making (sadly out of print, but available from libraries). What you get is a series of outline instructions for making instruments such as a medieaval fiddle, an appalachian dulcimer, a gothic harp and a flat-backed mandolin. It makes good sense if you you have made an instrument previously (I got the bug after my eldest was told by his teacher to bring "something ancient Greek" to school, so I made a lyre). The style is clear and practical, the variety is wide-ranging. the design that surprised me the most was the "Compostellan lute" which he took from a relief carved on that cathedral, the angel's lute consists of a body made from a half log with a leather soundboard - my half log currently lies drying in the shed.

You will want to have done a bit of woodwork before. A really good book for some interesting projects.
