The Folk Art Instrument Builders Reference

Viac o knihe

The intent of this book is to provide a reference for the construction of functional Folk Art & Roots instruments. Roots instruments can be constructed out of boxes, cans, hubcaps, toasters, suitcases, cookie tins, literally with anything you have available. As far as string instruments are concerned you are not limited to the number of strings, scale length, number of frets or to even have any frets at all. It's all about having fun, making art and making music. Within the book I will show you some of the techniques, principles, tricks and tips that I have amassed during my decade or so journey of folk art/roots instrument building. I've had many hobbies throughout my lifetime but never one nearly as fulfilling. It's a journey that will connect you with other enthusiasts from all around the world. It's an addiction that might just consume you and it all starts with your very first build.
