Tesa (just what the local shop sells me). I've noticed different fingerboard react differently. I have lutes with snakewood, very fine grained ebony and rougher grained ebony fingerboard. The tape sticks better on the finer grained woods. See through tape is difficult to remove from very smooth surfaces. > Incidentally, I use bamboo skewers for the tastini. Yes, works well. I use them for body frets. Enjoy your Uccelini. I'm having a Friday of Schuetz in ET (barbarians) and the rest of the weekend Monteverdi's Maria Vespers in 1/4 MT. Looking forward.
