ADULT CLASSES September, 2007 we will be having Instrument Building Classes for all ages and for adults with beginner to advanced woodworking skills.

The designers of these kits have worked hard to produce these simple instruments that really work. They are easy to assemble, stay in tune well, have accurate pitch up the scale and easy-to-play string height. All this plus they sound remarkably good! Each kit has been designed with four strings for simplicity. They can all be tuned to the top four strings of a guitar (except the Mountain Dulcimer) and played together using the same chords. A songbook is included with each kit - great for playing individually or as a class. INSTRUCTORS AVAILABLE FOR: ~ Summer Camps ~ Schools ~ Home-Schoolers ~ Churches (VBS) ~ Clubs (Scouts, Guides) ~ Music Festivals    Frequently asked Questions Email us with Questions or to Sign-Up for a Class  ASSEMBLY TIME Assembly time is about 4 hours. Our classes are held in 4 seperate one hour sessions to maintain attention, energy, and enthusiasm.  By the last session we are ready to tune the instrument and teach a few beginner songs from the songbook.
