In the first category are the: autoharp, banjo, bouzouki, charango, cittern, dulcimer, guitar, harp, kantele, kithara, kora, koto, lute, theorbo, archlute, angelique, torban, kobza, bandura, lyre, mandolin, oud, shamisen, sitar, ukulele, and veena. In the second category are the: cello, crwth, double bass, erhu, fiddle, mouthbow, nyckelharpa, hurdy-gurdy, rabab, rebec, sarangi, viol, viola, viola da braccio, viola d’amore, viola da gamba, and violin.
Since bowed stringed instruments require a bow, this second category of luthier contains a subtype known as an “archetier”, which is a French word for one who makes bows. While the division of luthiers into two categories may seem arbitrary, there are those who are passionate about the difference between these categories.
I created Stringed Instrument Division because I am passionate about both of these categories. If I cannot order your part, I will make it from scratch.
Contact me today, or fill out a service ticket for either Repair or Restoration.
I also carry a wide range of accessories & parts
