In the first quarter of the 21st century, new design and production technologies that gained momentum have caused significant changes/transformations in music and instrument-making in every field. Especially in today's age built on industry 4.0 and 5.0 smart technologies, while the use of new design and production tools has become widespread, the dominant conventional production technologies/methods of the past centuries have become dysfunctional in these new technological/digital media, necessitating the use/production of different design and production methods. On the other hand, new composite materials and additive manufacturing technologies, in which recyclable raw materials can be processed, have spread to all production areas and led to the development of new production approaches. In the consumer base, three-dimensional printer technologies, which have become the main production benches of movements such as the "do it yourself" and "maker movement," are gradually becoming indispensable production elements. In addition to all these, today's environmental and deforestation problems cause wood, which is the main raw material of traditional production methods such as instrument making, to become increasingly scarce and difficult to supply, while access to quality acoustic materials in the instrument making market is becoming difficult and costs are increasing day by day. In parallel with all these changes, the field of instrument-making evolves and becomes a production area where interdisciplinary hybrid methods are used. This review article was prepared using qualitative research methods; while examining how the field of instrument making has evolved into a hybrid structure in both a conceptual and technological background with the new dimensions it has gained today, the concept of ‘hybrid luthiery’ is presented as a new alternative.
