A classical guitar is designed to make music. However, everyday life of a luthier is about much more than this. It is about design and about choosing appropriate materials in order to produce a pleasing tone and an instrument of beauty.

Trevor Semple has published a wide range of articles in Classical Guitar Magazine, the Institute of Acoustics Journal and European Guitar Teachers Association - Egta.

The topics cover acoustics, the philosophy and techniques of making concert guitars and the psychology of making and performing.
