Using the MIMForum:

The MIMForum New Builders' miniFAQ has answers to the questions most frequently asked by those who are new to the art and craft of building musical instruments, written by the MIMForum membership. If you're a newbie, please read the miniFAQ before you ask your questions on the MIMForum.

Students, and parents of students: if you don't yet know what kind of instrument you want to build, visit the MIMForum Bookstore for two good books on the subject: "Great Wood Folk Instruments to Make & Play" by Dennis Waring, and "Making Simple Musical Instruments" by Bart Hopkin. Both books are oriented towards simple projects for children and young adults that require very few tools. You might also be able to find them through Inter-Library Loan. Thoroughly browse our Links Pages for many, many sites with instructions for building simple instruments, especially simple wind and percussion instruments. Use search engines to find online information about the instrument you're investigating before you ask your questions on the MIMForum.

We have instituted a voluntary subscription to the MIMForum, using the PBS model. If you find the Forum useful, we ask you to subscribe and help pay the costs of keeping the Forum online. You may use this secure form, but you should spend some time on the Forum first.
