He is the author of two books: Making Master Guitars (1993)[1] and The Art of Violin Making (1999),[2] both of which are widely used by luthiers[3][4] and cited.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] EducationBorn in Cape Town, South Africa on 31 December 1953, Courtnall is the third of four children. He was educated at St. Stithians College in Johannesburg (1959–68) and South Africa's first multi-racial high school, Woodmead School in Rivonia (1969–71). This was the time of South Africa's Border War; school-leavers were required to undertake military service, implying support of Apartheid. To avoid this, at the age of 18 he relocated to the United Kingdom, studying for 'A' levels at Abbotsholme School in Derbyshire (1972–73), before attending the University of London Goldsmiths College for a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art Sculpture. It was during this period that his interest in building stringed musical instruments arose.[16] A family background in education was responsible for his interest in teaching guitar making as well as making instruments himself; his mother, Sonia Machanick, was an educational psychologist who founded Japari School, a special school in Johannesburg and his father, Hillel Abbe Shapiro was Professor of Forensic Medicine at the University of South Africa. CareerIn 1994, Courtnall was asked by the Newark School of Violin Making[17] in the United Kingdom to write the syllabus and set up a new course in Classical Guitar Making. After an initial intake of twelve students, the course rapidly expanded to become the leading vocational course in guitar making in the United Kingdom, now awarding a BA (Hons) Musical Instrument Craft qualification through the University of Hull. In 2008 he retired from Newark College in order to [https://www.guitarmakingcourse.com teach] privately. Courtnall's work was initially focused on understanding and building instruments in the Spanish classical guitar tradition begun by Antonio de Torres during the 19th century and later perfected by Hermann Hauser, Daniel Friederich and Jose Romanillos. More recently however, he has worked closely with the guitarist [https://www.robjohnsguitar.com Rob Johns], to develop a lattice-braced concert guitar, influenced by, but not quite in the same vein as the Australian luthier Greg Smallman.[18] PublicationsCourtnall's first book; Making Master Guitars, is a practical guide and historical summary of leading luthiers of the 19th and 20th centuries, enabling readers to make reasonably close replicas of their instruments. It includes detailed working drawings and plans of guitars by Antonio de Torres, Hermann Hauser, Robert Bouchet, Ignacio Fleta, Santos Hernandez, Hernandez and Aguado, Daniel Friederich and Jose Romanillos. In a review for Classical Guitar magazine, luthiers, Lipkin and Algranati, concluded that Courtnall had "combined the detailed work of the scholar with the practical insights of the craftsman."[19] The book has since been translated into French[20] and Japanese.[21] His second book; The Art of Violin Making, was co-written with the violin maker Chris Johnson[22] and regarded by The Strad magazine as a "major contribution" to the violin-making bookshelf.[23] It includes a foreword by Lord Yehudi Menuhin, who refers to the book as "Exhaustive in its detailed exposition of the process of construction, conceived as it is, by two disciples of a distinguished English achievement - the Newark School of Violin Making". The book follows a similar format to Making Master Guitars and is closely based on the violin making method taught at the Newark School. It has been translated into Chinese.[24] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.crowood.com/details.asp?isbn=9780709048091&t=Making-Master-Guitars|title=Making Master Guitars by Roy Courtnall, 9780709048091|website=www.crowood.com|access-date=2017-12-12}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Courtnall Summerfield, Roy}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.crowood.com/details.asp?isbn=9780709058762&t=The-Art-of-Violin-Making|title=The Art of Violin Making by Chris Johnson and Roy Courtnall, 9780709058762|website=www.crowood.com|access-date=2017-12-12}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Bills|first1=Tom|title=Making Master Guitars: An Awesome Book Every Luthier Needs!|url=http://theartoflutherie.com/making-master-guitars/|website=The Art of Lutherie|accessdate=12 December 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Koehn|first1=Christian|title=Luthier Christian Koehn 2017 classical guitar cedar- Germany|url=https://www.concert-classical-guitar.com/product/luthier-christian-koehn-classical-guitar/|website=Concert Classical Guitar|accessdate=12 December 2017}} 5. ^{{Cite journal|date=2011|others=Martin, Darryl, Myers, Arnold|title=The Guittar in the British Isles, 1750-1810|url=https://www.era.lib.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/5776|language=en|last1=Poulopoulos|first1=Panagiotis}} 6. ^{{Cite journal|date=2017-10-01|title=Critical study of the use of a length unit in the design of 16th to 18th century Italian violins|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1296207416300516|journal=Journal of Cultural Heritage|language=en|volume=27|pages=S26–S33|doi=10.1016/j.culher.2016.04.012|issn=1296-2074|last1=Zopf|first1=Simone Regina}} 7. ^{{Cite journal|last=Martin|first=Darryl|date=1998|title=Innovation and the Development of the Modern Six-String Guitar|journal=The Galpin Society Journal|volume=51|pages=86–109|doi=10.2307/842762|jstor=842762}} 8. ^{{Cite journal|last=Bower|first=Rudi|date=2010|title=Between Scylla and Charybdis: a South African perspective on guitar building|journal=Journal of the Musical Arts in Africa|volume=6, 1|pages=1–33|doi=10.2989/JMAA.2009.6.1.1.1053}} 9. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=EOMU8U7qNcsC|title=Antonio de Torres, Guitar Maker: His Life and Work|last=Romanillos|first=Jose L.|date=1997|publisher=Bold Strummer|isbn=9780933224933|language=en}} 10. ^{{Cite journal|last=Zaczéski|first=Monicky E.|last2=Beckert|first2=Carlos H.|last3=Barros|first3=Thales G.|last4=Ferreira|first4=Ana L.|last5=Freitas|first5=Thiago C.|last6=Zaczéski|first6=Monicky E.|last7=Beckert|first7=Carlos H.|last8=Barros|first8=Thales G.|last9=Ferreira|first9=Ana L.|date=2018|title=Guitar: acoustic, structural and historical aspects|url=http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1806-11172018000100409&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=pt|journal=Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física|volume=40|issue=1|doi=10.1590/1806-9126-rbef-2017-0192|issn=1806-1117}} 11. ^{{Cite journal|last=Stroeker|first=Roel J.|date=2017|title=On the Shape of a Violin|journal=Mathematics Magazine|volume=88,4|issue=4|pages=247–259|doi=10.4169/math.mag.88.4.247}} 12. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=mL4DPRBnfPYC|title=Technology of the Guitar|last=French|first=Richard Mark|date=2012-05-16|publisher=Springer Science & Business Media|isbn=9781461419211|language=en}} 13. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vlZsBgAAQBAJ|title=The Violin: A Research and Information Guide|last=Katz|first=Mark|date=2006-02-09|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781135576950|language=en}} 14. ^{{Cite journal|last=Cattani|first=Gino|last2=Dunbar|first2=Roger L.
