Luthiers, Part 1: Banjo Maker Frank Neat | Kentucky Life | KET

One who makes or repairs stringed instruments that have a neck and a sound box is known as a luthier. The name comes from the French word for lute, which is one of the oldest plucked string instruments.

In the first of a three-part series about Kentucky’s luthiers, we travel to Russell Springs to meet Frank Neat, who makes bluegrass banjos. Neat’s customers have included the top bluegrass banjo players in the world, from the late Earl Scruggs to J.D. Crowe.
