Music Encyclopedia: Luthier

(Fr.; It. liutaio)

Literally, ‘lute maker’, it has become a general term for a maker of violins or other string instruments. Similarly, the derivative ‘lutherie’ (lute making) has acquired the meaning of instrument making in general.

A luthier (IPA: /ˈluːtɪə(r)/) is someone who makes or repairs stringed instruments. The word luthier comes from the Frenchword for lute, "luth".

The craft of lutherie is commonly divided into two main categories: stringed instruments that are plucked or strummed, and stringed instruments that are bowed. While there is a nearly limitless variety of stringed instruments both historic and modern, from many places and cultures — the following lists give some examples of instruments in each category still in use today.^[1]

In the first category are the: autoharp,banjo, bouzouki, charango, cittern,appalachian dulcimer, guitar, harp, kantele, kithara, kora, koto, lute, theorbo, archlute, angelique,torban, kobza, bandura, lyre, pipa, mandolin, oud, shamisen, sitar, ukulele, and veena.

In the second category are the: cello, crwth, double bass, erhu, fiddle, mouthbow, nyckelharpa,hurdy gurdy, rabab, rebec, sarangi, viol, viola, viola da braccio, viola d'amore, viola da gamba andviolin.

Since bowed stringed instruments require a bow, this second category of luthier contains a subtype known as an "archetier", which is a French word for one who makes bows.^[2] While the division of luthiers into two categories may seem arbitrary, there are those who are passionate about the difference between these categories.^[3][4] For this reason, the remainder of this article will use the division for clarity and convenience.
