I understand that 16th century citterns had metal (wire?) frets built
into the fingerboard rather than the tied-on frets used on lutes until
much later. Is it known when metal frets started being used and what
instruments they were used on?

I had a Hauser-model lute with metal frets. Worked fine with heavy gauge
strings. But when I decided to try some lighter gauge lute strings (like what
I'm not using on my more historical instrument), the metal frets wore through
the windings of the wound strings within a week. I suspect they

I don't know of any gut strung instruments (in the 16th century) with
metal frets --probably for just the reason you state. Metal frets
usually seemed to go hand-in-hand with scalloped frets, too. I had
assumed that it decreases any sharp bend north of the fret to prevent

If this combination refers to a scalloped fingerboard along with metal
frets, the 6-string mandolino lombardo, popular in northern Italy in roughly
the same time frame as the lauten of the wendervogel movement, also
typically featured scalloped fingerboards. They were also strung in gut,

Well, I obviously was mistaken in my assumption that metal frets would wear
down gut strings quickly. Too bad I didn't think to try gut strings on my
metal fretted lute.
