Italian term or phrase: Liuteria
Sto traducendo brevi schede biografiche dei maggiori liutai italiani. Il termine si riferisce sia all'arte che alla diverse scuole, e comprende non solo la fabbricazione dei violini o strumenti simili, ma anche strumenti a corde in genere, quindi anche le chitarre. Posso tradurre in inglese con "lutherie" ed eventualmente specificare "guitar lutherie" o "violin lutherie"?
Un esempio di contesto: "Ha restaurato chitarre del periodo romantico e classiche, collaborando con alcuni noti restauratori europei. Ha pubblicato numerosi libri sulla *liuteria* della Scuola piemontese e ha organizzato mostre importanti...".
In questo caso mi sembra che la liuteria della scuola piemontese si riferisca solo alle chitarre....
Grazie a tutti!

Explanation:
If you do a simple search on google you will have your answer for Lutherie, even though does not result in any of my dictionaries, although "luthier" does.

I have also used instrument maker, violin maker, guitar maker, etc.

Training

I have been making lutes and related early instruments since 1989 when I enrolled at the
London College of Furniture (now part of the London Metropolitan University). By the summer of 1994 had successfully completed five years of instrument making, study and research into the subject and attained a BSc. Hons.

Since leaving LCF I have continued instrument making to the high standard demanded by professional musicians and serious amateurs alike. After some time spent in the West Country I set up a permanent workshop in Kent in 1998 ~ still specialising in early instruments, though I have also made classical guitars and members of the mandolin family and have carried out numerous repairs to various types of stringed instruments.
