Right, you can not really see winding in the photo. What holds the strings together, actually, are the bulges at the ends of gut strings (when you burn the gut, it distends)- like in a well known way of tying a single fret. When you wrap them with some sort of thread and treat it with super

I have used super glue to splice strings overspun with metal. There were no bulges, but it worked OK anyhow. To harden super glue instantly, apply a mixture of baking soda and water to the glue. To get on or off this list see list information at

All, I think the real issues with student lute pricing is that very few take it up as their first instrument. The vast majority come from some guitar background and they will have already spent a fair amount of money on other guitars or other instruments by the time they get to the lute. I

I have an 8-course EMS lute. If I'd waited till I could afford a cheap student lute I'd never have got a lute at all. It was a factory repair so it was even cheaper than the usual low price. After replacing strings (probably not absolutely essential), nut (very necessary!), and frets it

For me, the simplest knot is just to do one loop in one end of the gut, pulling it into a rather small loop, and bring the other end of the gut over the fingerboard and under the strings - from treble to bass - and through the loop. Keeping the gut at least one fret above where you eventually
