THE DIARY OF A UKULELE MAKING
is the new luthery manual published by Volonté & Co.
This manual describes all details of the construction of a hand-made soprano ukulele: technical data, hundreds of photographs and in-depth videos will help the reader immerse themselves in an authentic adventure.
Many of the arguments discussed can be juxtaposed to the construction of other instruments or to lutherie in general.
No aspect is left to chance, every thought and movement, even induced by instinct, is described and included in a very specific working method.
What is described in these pages simply represents "a method" of work, which has no claim to be considered "the method".
The book wants to express strongly that "the secrets in lutherie do not exist". If it were the other way around it would be far too simple.
It's a very long way that lasts a lifetime, where in each work session we can to understand and assimilate something new.
The aim is to try to impress its own character on an handwork that will represent us after our existence even.
