About Lutherie:
The craft of lutherie is commonly divided into two main categories: stringed instruments that are plucked or strummed, and stringed instruments that are bowed.

Peter Barberio's Luthier Shop

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.

In the first category are the: autoharp, banjo, bouzouki, charango, cittern, dulcimer, guitar, harp, kantele, kithara, kora, koto, lute, theorbo, archlute, angelique, torban, kobza, bandura, lyre, 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, and violin.

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. While the division of luthiers into two categories may seem arbitrary, there are those who are passionate about the difference between these categories.

I created Stringed Instrument Division because I am passionate about both of these categories. If I cannot order your part, I will make it from scratch.

Contact me today, or fill out a service ticket for either Repair or Restoration.
