Intermediate Guitar Making (short course)

More about this course

This course follows a tried-and-tested programme that has been used for more than 30 years with great success. The evening course runs in blocks of 10 weeks and is designed to allow participants to build on the skills necessary to build guitars. It will give you the opportunity to:

• acquire the skills and techniques necessary to be competent in guitar making
• undertake hands-on practical sessions to create the finished product
• build upon previous knowledge

Who's this course for?

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.

"Amazing experience at The Cass. Nick Pyall has a wealth of experience and is open to any quirky idea that you throw at him. He is one of the best and most inspiring tutors I have had as a student and this just adds up to a wonderful course."

"The course was excellent. I was impressed by how much of it is done by hand and I truly felt I was getting a thorough learning experience. We had an excellent teacher."
