Editing Luthier (section)

==Craft==
The [[craft]] of luthiers, lutherie (rarely called "luthiery", but this often refers to stringed instruments other than those in the violin family), is commonly divided into the two main categories of makers of stringed instruments that are plucked or strummed and [[Violin making and maintenance|makers of stringed instruments that are bowed]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Music/Instruments/Stringed/|title=Arts, Music, Instruments, Stringed|publisher=[[DMOZ]]|access-date=2006-11-03}}</ref> Since bowed instruments require a bow, the second category includes a subtype known as a [[bow maker]] or archetier. Luthiers may also teach string-instrument making, either through [[apprenticeship]] or formal classroom instruction.
