It is not true that this book requires a minimum of experience in violin or a strong knowledge in technical nor an ability developed in English. The very beginning that I am, and talking moderately amateur English has no problems. To decode this book, providing a French-English dico, minimum, and then to use a little imagination. It is a beautiful book, clear and precise, and the teacher is very concerned towards amateurs like me, without any sofistiqués tools, and just with the imagination, I have already managed to build my soundboard and back my guitar. I'll post on this site later all steps I have undertaken photos by pictures. In short, for those who want to undertake a project of this size, this book is what their need, and in addition, it seems Robert Benedetto, which is the equal of the largest makers of that world. When I finished my table, it was a great joy, I assure you that the price of the book are countless, the result is fassinant. When you finish your guitar, and you will do it by a professional estimate, there will be at least double that you've put into 2 zero; and in relation to the type of wood, ca can rise very quickly zero to 3, it is almost innéstimable, your sweat, your heart and your talent there is. And yes! It's not just the pros who know do things cheaply, we can do the same or better. Now the price depends on what you put into it, if you think make for a sum less than 200 euros, so do not continue, wood is expensive, and ca not also put out. If this really made you still afraid, you feel like a single guitar, personalized, neat and well done (without counting that the same cost you the "skin of the buttocks";) in a pro) then rejoignez- me in the adventure, by wishing Success, great imagination and ample courage.
