You may have strummed, plucked, picked, bowed, but have you ever made or fixed a string instrument? Renowned luthier Marshall Bruné is a workman with over two decades of experience. His instruments are known for their powerful sound, astoundingly rapid response, clean, pure tone and remarkable build quality. He specializes in all styles of acoustic guitars— classical, flamenco and steel string—as well as violins, violas and cellos. This event is presented as part of Meet the Makers, a series introducing the possibilities of making. Learn more about Bruné, view past programs and more at ahml.info/makers. NEW
