Welcome to the world of Lutherie! We offer experiences on various levels, all being offered in our world-class Gerald Anderson Lutherie. Find out more by clicking on the links below.
Build a Ukulele
Also known as our “Introduction to Lutherie” Workshop. Many people are a bit intimidated to begin their Lutherie experience with our immensely popular guitar building workshops. Because of this, we have decided to begin offering two Ukulele Builds per year, introducing the participant to the materials and techniques used in guitar building, only on a smaller scale.
Build a Guitar
This guitar building workshop consists of one intensive week long program, followed by one weekend of final construction of your guitar. The class begins on a Sunday afternoon and continues through the week, finishing the initial build on Friday. You will have the opportunity to build one acoustic D28 , OM or 000 style guitar with a headstock inlay of your own design.
Build a Fiddle
Randal Eller, of Chilhowie, teaches the fine craft of fiddle making here at The Henderson. Classes are established on a personal basis/schedule as Randal will work one on one.
