Mandolin Building

Imagine, arriving at Planet Bluegrass eager to assemble your first musical instrument. After meeting your instructors and fellow students, you get to choose a mandolin kit, each one made of beautiful woods, and begin. Four days later, you leave with a mandolin, created mostly with your own hands and partly with the assistance of a group of remarkable luthiers who facilitate this unforgettable building experience in our onsite workshop.

We hope you’re able to join us in 2024 for an experience that you can be proud of every time you pick up your instrument to play knowing that your hands themselves built it.

What to Expect

The mandolin building class is held in our workshop centrally located on the beautiful Planet Bluegrass Ranch.

No woodworking experience required - just a good attitude and focus.

There are 14 mandolin building spots available and students will build their mandolins from a kit designed by master luthier, Marcus Engstrom.

Tuition includes your mandolin kit and expert instruction from luthiers Marcus Engstrom, Dan Roberts, Bobby Wintringham, Brody Klemer, William Classon, and Mark Gibson.
