A magical moment, just before varnishing. This Baroque guitar—based on a Stradivari model—features, in this instance, a beautiful rosette crafted by my son Damian Yost to whom I am grateful for his contribution. Lute Society of America Pedro Tiorba

Repair of an archlute belonging to Salomé Sandoval complete soundboard replacement, salvaging the original rosette, and repair of the secondary neck. It’s good to reach a successful outcome when things look so bad at the beginning. I love these challenges.

Working on the extremes! Repairing a baroque mandolin and building a theorbo based on the Harz model.

In the past, academic institutions served as ideal havens for training the next generation of professional lutenists in the United States. With funding cuts and programs shutting down around the country, the Lute Society of America is taking steps to try and help fill the gap by reorganizing into a major hub of pedagogical resources for the lute community. In addition to working on increasing our available educational materials, we are also actively fostering the growth of local communities of players, and even working on providing quality instruments for a much lower cost than previously possible. There is a growing interest in historical plucked instruments, and this presentation will discuss a number of the ways in which the LSA is adapting to meet the needs of this new population of students and players.

Presenter: Andrew Flory
