suniram -> How to become a Luthier (Apr. 23 2012 14:18:21)
|
Hi All, let me introduce myself first. My name is Marinus and I am from Germany, but have been living in Madrid now for almost 12 year About 4 years ago I started to study Flamenco guitar, as an absolute beginner...and the only thing i can say now is that it has become one of the most important things for me to do...a passion, amazing But not only playing: during the last years i felt also another desire rising. I would love to learn to build guitars. First this was just a vague idea, but recently, also due to my current profesional and personal situation which requires a complete change, it is getting something more real.... I have been following this forum over these last years but almost never had to say anything as a very beginner. But I have learnt a lot from you guys. So this encouraged me to now ask you for some advise (although i know that i am not the first one with this issue): How can one become a Luthier? It seems that here in Spain that is no regular/official formation. So what is the way to go? Would it be to go to from luthier to luthier asking if i can learn with him. If they would accept me in their workshops as apprentice? do you have any experience with that? Do you know any luthier in Spain who would be willing to teach ? Or is there another way? maybe you now of any courses or academy or something like that? sorry, A LOT oF questions.. :))) whatever thoughts or experiences from you would be highly appreciated !! thanks a lot in advance with best regards Marinus P.s. and please apologize for my fair english. hope you understand it all
