I am quite picky about body frets. I always use a hard material like
ebony or rosewood. On my holly lute the body frets are a

What nobody has mentioned yet is that body frets, while not unknown,
were comparatively rare back in the day. There's a brief mention of
them in 'Varietie' and only a few paintings show evidence of their

William,
While body frets were certainly not standard (Francesco was just one
player known for going above the frets, as not doubt was Pietro Bono and
others) , they were an option going as far back as the late 15 Century-
see Lorenzo Costa's Concert, ca. 1485-95, National Gallery, London. 3
Two votes for bamboo, so far- best in category; home fretting, kitchen
division.
Maybe fish bones, some seem to be pretty straight, and about the right
size, coming off the spine. Perfect with the recommended fish glue.

Dear Collective wisdom,
I was just employed to perform in a number of concerts with a choral
group in December. A special request is for one lute song, sung in

of twelve) and the tenth fret covers only the 2nd, 3rd and 4th course.

That short fret recalls me of an African instrument, the Malagasy Kabosy.

You don't really need the 12th fret. Just play the harmonic!

Hi-they are not parallel to the soundboard. The layers are quite thin
but with three layers it becomes a big fret.
I used a drum sander to make the thin layers.
