I am interested in becoming a luthier and was curious what the best, or most respected luthier schools are in the US. I am interested in acoustic, archtop and upright bass... i know that is a weird combination but maybe that will help you give me some options. I have heard that also just an apprenticeship us the way to go... what do you guys think? Thanks in advance for you time and help.

Few of us will know much about this discipline so I will post some links I found by using search engines Before searching this word, I thought you may actually mean Lutheran, as in the sect of Christianity that helped establish the Protestant revolution. The rest of the question establishes that you meant luthier-exactly as you posted and this is a well composed question. You may want to Yahoo! G***gle or B*ng search the word luthier, luthier education and other related topics including the Wikipedia article on the subject or stringed instrument manufacture, craftsmanship, ect. I suspect, based on the second link that I provided that the apprenticeship is the way to go. If I wanted higher education, I would suspect that a school of music may be a great place to find information, such as Julliard http://www.juilliard.edu/ I found these links http://www.luth.org/ This second link appears particularly helpful http://www.wikihow.com/Become-a-Luthier
