Left Brain Lutherie has 1 rating and 1 review. Darren said: Not many books out there that clearly expain how to measure wood properties like Young’s modu. Left-Brain Lutherie, David C. Hurd, Ph.D. This is a great book for those who attack instrument construction from a more scientific approach. Dr. Hurd applies. In the Spring of , I started a “Left Brain Lutherie” discussion group on my server. This group still exists and has been taken over by Jeremy Locke.
