To Sean and anyone else with an interest in double frets: Grant Tomlinson is planning to attend the LSA LuteFest, at least the last time I talked with him. He gives a very good show-and-tell demo on how to tie double frets and to set up your lute for it, so I hope he'll do the same this summer as he did last summer in Vancouver for anyone interested. I think, for instance, that it might require a slight adjustment in the way you set up the action on the string nut. He learned about double fretting techniques from Ray Nurse. By the way, my own Ray Nurse lute with double frets tied on by Grant under Ray's tutorage, will be on hand at the seminar. Regards, Kenneth --
