During the past two years, I've taken two classes with the Colorado School of Lutherie and will be signing up for a third.  If I had my druthers, I’d sign up for an Apprenticeship.  

I initially took the beginner's class after reading about Edward Dick in the Denver Post.  As a lifelong musician, I was interested in exploring the mechanics of instruments themselves.  Edward’s classes touch upon a range of subjects, including biology, physics, math, engineering, acoustics, design, and art.  There is no right- or left-brained dominance here.  You’re challenged in both.

At this point, I feel confident in my ability to craft a high-end instrument on my own (I've made both a 6-string and twelve-string guitar).  However, I really appreciate the atmosphere that Edward and Tom Hunter-Crump create in their studio.  The class is a welcome respite from the motion of every day life.  Both men are exceptionally patient and encouraging (I hadn't done any real woodworking since shop class in middle school, circa 1979).  The classes are comprised of musicians, wood workers, mechanics, chefs – you name it.  However, the students all share a love of learning and risk-taking.  Every measurement, cut, and chisel must be thoughtfully considered.  I guarantee you’ll be out of your comfort zone in the best possible way.  You’ll be nervous.  Mistakes will be made.  And you’ll be forced to consider what you’ll do differently the next time.  Not unlike life itself.  As Edward advises, “Shoot for perfection and live with what you get.”  Fortunately, Edward and Tom – without doing it for you - will guide you very close to the perfection you seek.  

In a world of constant distractions, there is something wonderfully monastic about standing in front of a bench upon which rests a piece of wood.  In sixteen weeks, that wood is painstakingly transformed into a guitar that rivals a high-end Martin or Gibson.  You’ll find yourself more distracted by your own hand-built guitar than your Twitter feed.
