So now I have one lute strung in gut (delightful!) and am wondering what folks do with all the extra string hanging from the peg box (I don't wind much on the pegs and simply trim the extra when using synthetic). If gut tends to break (I haven't had it on long enough to know if this is a tendency), the extra may be enough to re-string the same string, so I'm reluctant to trim it off. Do you who use gut trim it, leave it, or wind most of it on the pegs to keep things neater?
