About this course

These more advanced classes are not suitable for complete newcomers to guitar making. If you haven't made an instrument before or you're not a competent woodworker, we recommend that you join the introductory class, which is specially designed to prepare you to take on this more advanced instrument construction work.

The center will contact you once you have sent your information through the form.

Nick Pyall

Nick is also a player and teacher of the guitar. In recent years his passion for the instrument has led to him studying its development and societal history. His previous teaching posts include being a senior lecturer in guitar making and the course leader for the Musical Instruments BSc at The Cass.
