Welcome to Roberto-Venn!
As we enter our fourth decade of teaching guitar building and repair we build
on a foundation of knowledge, experience, and creativity. Merging tradition
with innovation, our goal is to keep pace with a changing art and industry.
Our job is to provide you with the skills and knowledge you will need to
enter the world of professional guitar making and repair. Our five month
course is dedicated to teaching you these fundamentals.
We are extremely proud of
our students and alumni, who have traveled from all over the world to attend
Roberto-Venn. While most of our students do not have prior instrument
building experience, they do share a common passion for guitars and many
are players as well. It seems that each year we see a more sophisticated
knowledge and perception of what guitars are about, how they are made, and
their history. Collaborations among students, as well as instructors,
continue to benefit all of us as we explore and improve our understanding
and abilities in the guitar making art. We hope you'll join us.
If you would like to speak to a member of our staff, please
feel free to contact us by phone or send us an e-mail for more
