Google Spectra fishing line very strong, highly stretch resistant. Another
high strength, low stretch fiber is DYNEEMA (high modulus polyethylene
fiber) Spectra might actually be this stuff, different brand names and

I've had success using waxed polyester whipping twine as leaders,
simply tied with a 'sheet bend' to the string. Polyester has
practically no stretch in it, so it works well. You can get this twine
from any yacht chandlery or from ebay.
As Howard suggests, it's best to try the
Hello baroque lutenists,
I just found some pieces from Kremsmunster L82, L83 on fronimo group.
The pieces are facile (not all of them) and nice.
I am very curious about this source.
Can anybody tell me something about this?
Links on net would be very helpful also.
I have found it necessary to tie a 'leader' onto unexpectedly shortened
strings and finding that, surprisingly, it does seem to stabilize
tuning problems. I have always used well-stretched bits of slightly
thicker-gauged used gut or fret gut, since it seems to find its point

I lubricate instrument nuts for living. I did try graphite (or lead pencil) in
the past, but for the last... well, 15 or so, years i use a good quality bees
wax, just lifting the string above the nut a bit and applying the wax on this
little bit of the string. Many advantages to the method,
Your not likely to find many braids on local-shop shelves clocking 0.6 - 0.8
mm. In typical braids/fusion lines, even 0.4 mm diameters will exceed a
breakage rating of 100-lb/45-kg test. As you might expect, to get to a
diameter of 0.8 mm, you're handily exceeding double that rating. Modern
I'm not familiar with the shell not outside of neck ties. Is this the knot
you'd intended, Alexander? If not, can you refer me to a diagram?
The nail knot to which I'd referred really has a low profile for line to line,
and a bit of burned-end gut would be perfectly suited to it. Have you
Not for knot. Your for you're. Occasion for occasional. I'm

watching.

Very much depends on the leader material, actually, how slippery the leader or
the core is. I think the nail knot works better with a thin gut, and
Ah, that's the snell (not shell) knot. Yes, a staple, but I've only used it
for fixing line to hard-wire hooks. However, it is very similar to most
multi-twist fishing knots. For line-to-line connections of limp synthetics,
try the blood knot or double-uni knot.

Another good thing about gut. I never seem to have that problem with
gut strings.

I have a bottle of witch-hazel, a topical medicine
available in any drug store. The label says that it
is an astringent.
The Wikipedia ariticle on astringents says that they
dry, harden, and protect the skin.
This makes me wonder whether there are circumstances
under which witch-hazel might be
