The Art of Mandolin Making
Edition Mando (Verlag)
978-3-9822264-1-5 (ISBN)
This is how the story of the modern mandolin begins, as recounted by luthier Alfred Woll. As well as its development in its native Italy, the author details its proliferation in Germany and the conception of a new type of mandolin at the hands of Reinhold Seiffert. Following his historical excursions, Alfred Woll lets us look over his shoulder in his workshop, providing an insight into how his mandolins are made, supported by many detailed photos and construction drawings.
Born in 1956, Alfred Woll’s interest in craftwork was awakened at an early age by his father and grandfather. Having discovered his passion for lutherie, he was eventually permitted to take the master craftsman’s exam despite being self-taught and subsequently became one of the best-known mandolin makers both in Germany and beyond. Beside restoring historic mandolins, he builds reproductions of early instruments from Italian masters as well as modern mandolin family instruments of his own design.
"It is a generous gift to the world for Alfred to share his deep understanding, knowledge and secrets to the world with this publication. Thank you my friend."
Mike Marshall, virtuoso on the mandolin
"This book is a must for every professional in the field, and for all other mandolin lovers it is a wonderful compendium of knowledge and a present! "
Prof. Caterina Lichtenberg, professor for mandoline and internationally performing mandolinist
"The Art of Mandolin Making" belongs in the collection of anyone interested in the mandolin, luthiery, and in fact beautiful things in general."
Don Stiernberg, jazz mandolin virtuoso, Chicago
"Alfred Woll´s book … a new fundamental brick in the wall of the mandolin culture."
Carlo Aonzo, mandolin performer and teacher, Italy
"I am confident that this book will become a standard work on the mandolin."
Prof. em. Marga Wilden-Hüsgen, mandolin professor emeritus and virtuoso, Germany
