I build my guitars in an atypical fashion. Never reproducing the same inlay design twice, I customize each instrument (even on my most basic model) to give every guitar it’s own aesthetic individuality. I use only the finest tone woods available allowing me to create striking and vocal instruments. Utilizing my luthiery education, I have developed a sound that is as unique in its design as my inlay art.

If I asked you what comes to mind when you think of a guitar , what would you say? Flat-top? Classical or Steel string? Maybe it’s an Archtop ? Maybe an Electric? Or , maybe it’s not even a guitar…hmm.?



What if I asked you what comes to mind when you think of a mandolin ? … Do you see where I’m going with this?

Although the F-5 is no doubt the Reigning KING of Mandolin design, I do feel there is room for exploration in both the visual and acoustic aesthetic of the instrument as a whole.

This is the Challenge that inspires me – to build beautiful sounding mandolins , that intrigue the eye as well as the ear . Instruments built as individual entities , Instruments that inspire creativity

Daley Mandolins
For over a decade Sim Daley has worked on some of the finest instruments for some of the finest musicians. The knowledge gained from working with such players as Adam Steffey, Dan Tyminski, Sam Bush, Ronnie McCoury, Roland White, Aubrey Haynie, not to mention considerable time spent studying the Loar period F-5's, led Sim to open his own shop and build the finest mandolin available today!

Making a Diatonic Bowed Psaltery
These are plans I had on my first website in 1999, I have converted them to PDF files. They will require a little work to scale to size.

This instrument is one of the easiest bowed instruments to play, and its eerie, icy magical tone is very enchanting, for me it conjures up the time time between autumn and winter, the first frosts, of Christmas and the new year.

My name is Eric Meier, and I make a stringed musical instrument called the bowed psaltery. Whether this is your first time hearing of a bowed psaltery, or if you already own one (or more), I hope that by the time you leave my site, it will be with a new-found desire and intrigue for this unique instrument.

This is the blog of my main website, Phantasy Psalteries. On this blog you will find my everyday thoughts and musings on building bowed psalteries. Think of it as a behind-the-scenes look as to what goes on in my little shop.

An Introduction

Hi, I'm Eric Meier. I build bowed psalteries, and I thought I would share some of my building experience with you. I've designed an online project which walks you through the entire process of building this musical instrument - from start to finish.

Why am I sharing all of this online with you? Because you've got to hear this wonderful instrument in person! It seems that many musical instrument plans consist of an eclectic mix of cardboard, Styrofoam, and celery (?) - but not this one! When you are done, you will have a real, enjoyable, playable, and amazing musical instrument. (And your repertoire will not be limited to the four notes of 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' either...)

Fletcher Brock has distinguished himself as one of the top mandolin family instrument builders in North America, building around 15 instruments per year. To inquire about pricing or get on the list please contact Fletcher. While Fletcher primarily builds custom instruments to order, he does on occasion have some for sale, it's always worth inquiring.

New York City and nearby New Jersey, Long Island, and Westchester County have been home to a vibrant Italian American population since the late nineteenth century. Within this community, a remarkable tradition of lutherie (stringed-instrument making) has flourished. Italian American craftsmen have produced an enormous variety of musical instruments, from traditional European-style violins, mandolins, and guitars to newer American instruments such as archtop guitars and mandolins and even electric guitars. Since the 1930s, makers from this tradition in the New York region have become especially well known for their extraordinary archtop guitars. This exhibition examines the work of three remarkable craftsmen from this heritage—John D'Angelico, James D'Aquisto, and John Monteleone—their place in the extended context of Italian and Italian American instrument making, and the inspiration of the sights and sounds of New York City.

Greetings, music teachers! Welcome to the crafty music teacher's web page! This page will have info about how to stretch your budget (if you have one at all) by building instruments instead of purchasing them. Highlighted here is a homemade bass marimba, as well as other types of homemade instruments, and other stuff I have done or know about. There is also a collection of resources for other things that crafty teachers can do or make, and links to other websites where you can learn more. Enjoy!

Making instruments is a deep and rewarding involvement in music. From choosing and carving the tonewoods to executing details and fine-tuning the setup, I strive to build in musical potential to be unlocked in the hands of skilled players. I draw my inspiration from the classical Italian violinmaking tradition, my training, and personal exploration and study of modern lutherie.

Musician and Luthier

I have played music for many years, it has always played an important part in my life. My grandfather, Joseph Campanella, brought his mandolin with him from Calabria, Italy as a young immigrant. My mother, Antoinette Campanella Cleary, played violin as a girl and adult with community orchestras, and sang in church choirs and vespers. My father, Thomas Hugh Cleary, experienced music in his large Irish-American family, and was heavily influenced by his two piano-playing older brothers. His instrument was guitar, which he used to lead mass, as a Jesuit priest in Honduras. Music and singing was inextricable from our family life, at home and at church. My younger brother John has been a long-time musical partner--from high school talent shows to regional and national shows with our own string band based in Vermont. My older brother Jesse lives in Carrboro, NC and plays old-time banjo. Now I am lucky enough to be able to pass this gift on to my children, and enjoy the rewards of a musical family.
