The Liutaio Mottola lutherie information website contains reseources for builders and players of stringed musical instruments. The site owner R. M. Mottola does not build instruments commercially, but designs instruments and components on a non-profit basis for educational purposes. There are articles and downloadable instrument plans on the site including one for a wearable electric upright bass. Also of interest to players and builders of EUBs are sections on carving a scroll, building piezo transducers, and building a piezo bridge. There is also substantial technical information for instrument builders and designers, including formulae and data tables, and a popular section on lutherie science and myth which discusses many of the persistent beliefs surrounding stringed instruments. |
