Aliphatic resins (such as Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Glue or Titebond I) are best because they hold the parts more securely than the old animal glues of yore. DO NOT assemble the wood parts of this project with epoxy or superglue or hot melt glue. The yellow colored Elmer's or Titebond is best. Yes, many luthiers (instrument makers) still use the natural hide glues that have been around for centuries, carrying on a fine old tradition, but that does not mean you should do the same. The experts who use hide glue effectively are careful to cook up each batch to their own specifications from a high grade of granules.
