Title: Very Disappointed
Review: I was very disappointed in this book. I had expected much, much better construction description after reading Taylor's book on building a Lute. These construction descriptions are absolute minimal. Most casual builders will have a lot of trouble building most of these instruments. I build harps professionally and it would not be easy. With just a little more effort this could have been a great book on building a variety of instruments but I think the writing was done in a minimum amount of time.The Gothic Harp, in which I was most interested, didn't have any info on stringing, the critical part of a harp. Oh, don't expect any info on the harp on the cover, it's not in the book. So why is it on the cover?As I said, his other book, Make and Play a Lute, is very detailed and has all the info needed. Why this wasn't done here is puzzling,and disappointing.
