After we were certified as Luthiers in Redwing Minnesota, we could never have imagined where this rarified craft would lead us. It is satisfying repairing broken instruments and getting them back in the hands of musicians who love them.
A luthier (/ˈluːtiər/ LOO-ti-ər) is a craftsperson who builds and repairs string instruments that have a neck and a sound box. The word "luthier" is originally French and comes from the French word for lute.
