APPRENTICESHIP OPPORTUNITIES: I have been teaching lutherie through apprenticeships for some years now. I take on one apprentice or sometimes two each year, depending on the flow of my work and the availability of suitable candidates. Anyone wanting information about my apprenticeship programs should get in touch with me. Apprenticeship candidates from Japan and other countries need to have their visa work in order and must speak at least minimal English.
