Making an Archtop Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As an archtop owner and player for nearly thirty years, I would call this book a must read for anyone who is interested in purchasing a vintage archtop or buying a new one. Benedetto leads the reader into a deepappreciation of the painstaking detail that goes into The Making of anArchtop. He describes the level of attention that should be evident on eachcomponent of the guitar, and how it effects the player (and the price) inthe end. The significance of learning the process of material selection,construction sequencing and design considerations might well lead thereader towards a custom made instrument. This book is a credit to all theindependent luthiers out there whose trade is no longer a secret.

Art of Tap Tuning How to Build Great Sound into Instruments Book/DVD (Softcover) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This tutorial is a great resource for anyone who has ever had less than optimal results building a musical instrument. The "magic" of getting the best sound possible out of an instrument is explained in simple, easy to follow (and easy to repeat) steps. I wish I'd had this information many years ago. Even if you're not a builder, this book explains many things about how instruments "work". I would recommend this volume to anyone interested in understanding how the various parts of an instrument work together, to produce what we hear. This book will undoubtedly have a very positive impact on many instruments over the coming years. Well done Mr. Siminoff!
