is one of the nation’s most prominent acoustic guitar builders, but he also has written extensively about guitars and guitar making. His book GUITARMAKING: Tradition and Technology
is one of the standard books on the subject, and his articles have appeared in Acoustic Guitar, Guitarmaker and other magazines.
Cumpiano has posted many of these articles on his web site, and they’re an interesting and informative resource for any serious player. They range from maintenance tips to a history of string-making. If you can tear yourself away from looking at the beautiful guitars, cuatros, tiples and other instruments he makes, you’ll enjoy reading them and will no doubt learn a thing or two.
