I am the founder of Luthier Built. Its mission is to connect players of stringed musical instruments with the luthier artisans who hand-craft and restore stringed instruments.

The LuthierBuilt.net website will be launched the second half of 2010. It will enable musicians to locate luthiers worldwide, review media-rich presentations of their work and their services, and connect with them.

The site will be totally free of advertising. It will be of the highest integrity and quality. Its public areas, including its directory of professional luthiers, as well as its articles on luthiers and their art, will be freely available to visitors.

For student, amateur, and professional luthiers -- and for luthierie educators -- LuthierBuilt.net will also provide a worldwide business network, spanning all stringed instruments.

Luthier Built's temporary home is a group on LinkedIn. Would you like to join it? Members are kept informed about LuthierBuilt.net's plans and progress. If so, just register for a free LinkedIn account (www.linkedin.com), then find Luthier Built in the Groups directory, and submit a request to join the group.

The group's membership is currently approaching 350, from many countries, and for many instruments.
