Sixteen years ago I chose to attend Roberto Venn with the plan of starting a new career as soon as I completed the course. I had a good job locked down before I finished and now I run one of the most respected and busiest repair shops in the Northeast.

I attended in the fall of 2012 and it was an absolutely great experiance on so many levels. I learned more than I could have imagined. I met really great people that will be lifelong friends and colleagues. The educational experiance was the best I have ever had, and I'd had a lot of them before attending RV. Everyone that works at the school makes it what it is...and it's awesome! If you want to get into the industry, this IS the place to start.

I have visited to discuss design and building techniques, bought materia... read more

I visited the school almost a year ago, looking someone to setup my 7-strings guitar. Steven Davis took care of that, and also I could enjoy some time with John Reuter, chatting a little bit and seeing his nice guitars. If I had some time, for sure I would take some luthiery classes with them.
