From Wine Cellars to the Workbench: Raymond Kraut’s Path to Luthiery
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today’s guest is Raymond Kraut, an exceptional luthier whose work blurs the lines between science, art, and soul. In this conversation, Raymond and I dive deep into the evolving craft of guitar making: from the physics of sound and the role of alternative tonewoods like desert ironwood, to the emotional and instinctual layers of artistic expression.
This isn't just a story about guitars, it’s about listening closely: to the wood, to the music, and to yourself. Enjoy.
