Ah-- I figured it was something like that.
Perhaps the 11 course was new to K and that's why it only shows up once in the

Yes, there was an 11 course in that tuning (theorbated - neck with
small extension), check Mersenne there is a drawing of the instrument,
also check Lynda Sayce's article on Grove under archlute. I think he
had an 11 course just like Mersenne's drawing. He might have used the

Corrente 7. Toward the end of the piece there is an 11 marked in the
bass for the eleventh course B flat. This I think is the only instance
of an eleventh course in the book. I was under the impression that

Hi Howard,
I wipe them with a slightly damp (not dripping wet) cloth. That might

For making fine saw cuts in tiny things, the X-acto razor saw works
quite well. Perhaps not a cool sounding, but I suspect it costs a lot
less than a bone saw.

I just can't sort out how to tie a gut fret. I've tried many times and
kind people have tried to show me how to do it. I'm also certain that I
am not alone in this.

Why is everybody so obessed with matchsticks? Are they all chain
smokers? Whenever I come across someone with a matchstick, I say "why
not folded paper?" and they say "Deuh, didn't think of that". It is
easy to adjust by more or less folding and less likely to scratch the
surface of the neck.
Alexander,
Thanks for enlightening me(us) about the surgical bone saw (sounds so
19th century)- I would never have thought of it on my own; what better
tool for cutting out frets- actual frets, not just shims- to glue on the
lute beyond the gut frets; I would rather do the next ones myself,

A matchstick sounds like 'appropriate technology' - and it has a long
and honourable history, since the days when tinderboxes fell into
disuse.
My usual plan of attack on a loose gut fret is first of all to dampen

If someone decides to saw off some tiny pieces of wood, for whatever purpose,
and do it with a precision,
A surgical bone saw is the best and quickest tool. Practically no wood wasted,
too. That was the question.
