Hi
I have been following Brian Lisus with his making of 'The Quartet of Peace' since one day I hope to build a violin.
My background is woodworking.
I see now that he is in Santa Barbara CA and is offering classes on making.

I thought that anyone looking to make their first instrument might want to checkout this class.
I hope this helps.
Cheers
