how does one become a luthier?
this is a serious question. i'm tempted to put #askingforafriend but no, i'm really asking for yours truly.
@Iuckyduck
I believe the luthiers I know began as shop assistants, then apprentices. So I would say lots of time and practice with a mentor.
On the topic of violins you may wish to read:
The violin explained : components, mechanism, and sound by Sir James Beament, as it explains how the violin works acoustically and how the different parts contribute to the whole. It's published by Oxford University Press.
