What is Lutherie?
Lutherie (or luthiery) is the distinguished craft of creating and restoring fine stringed instruments. Derived from the Old French luth, meaning “lute,” the term embraces the artistry and precision involved in making instruments such as violins, violas, cellos, and basses, where every detail shapes both sound and beauty.
