Luthiers

Florida's Handmade Instrument Makers

At the luthiers exhibit located inside the museum, you can meet some of the state's makers of handcrafted stringed instruments. They use both raw materials and commercially available supplies to construct one-of-a-kind guitars, banjos, dulcimers and other musical instruments.
