Am changing strings and noticed the fingerboard on my lute is a bit dry looking and the finish(?) looking a bit worn in those spots between courses. I note that guitarists seem to swear by lemon oil as a fingerboard maintenence and care method. Do you chaps recommend it? Also, I'm wondering if using gut strings in the 30-34DEGC heat and 85% humidity of tropical Singapore would be silly. Anyone in the tropical bits of the USA to comment? Yours, Edward C.
