Once a year I offer my  Classical Guitar and Steel String Guitar Voicing Classes.  My steel string masterclass is already filled this year but I still have a couple of spots left in the classical voicing masterclass. It is scheduled for June 3 and 4 at my shop in Parker, Colorado.
This is the Holy Grail of guitar building! In this class you will thickness, brace and "voice" a soundboard with me. This can then be taken to your shop and used as a reference for future soundboards or used on a guitar. Learn how to thickness the soundboard, what stiff and loose mean, different radii and how they affect tone and structural integrity, bracing patterns, how to select tonewood and much much more! There is some prep work to be done before coming to the class. Students need to join and thickness two or three soundboards to approx. 3.5mm. If you plan on using your soundboard on a guitar then you can also install a rosette. Bring the soundboards and bracewood to the class. We will then evaluate and critique your materials and choose the best one to work with in the class. Afterwards we will thickness, brace and "voice" the soundboard so that it will give you the best response when used on a guitar. Although there is something for everyone in this class it is best if you have already built at least a couple of guitars. Here is a video from a past classical guitar voicing class.

If you are not able to come to this year's class and you can't wait for the next class opportunity in 2019 then my Online Classical Guitar Voicing course  is the next best option.   

    
Here is the intro video from my Online Classical Guitar Building Course.
If you are interested in learning to build guitars or just want
to see how I build my guitars then schedule a class with me.
If you are in need of a concert quality classical or steel string
guitar then let me know as I would love to build a guitar for you.

Thank you,
