I'll do it for you in 15 - 20 minutes. Might take an hour to coach you
on doing it properly yourself. It's just a matter of repetition &
practice (like learning to play the lute or some such thing.) I am
nowhere near any part of London, somewhat west of that area- just about
20 miles from New A
Hi Stuart,
The Lute Society has a list of makers on its website, many of whom are
'happy to do remedial work on badly set-up lutes', which sounds like
what's needed.
Reading through this list was a good memory jog for me, both in terms
of established luthiers and newer ones:
This knot works very fine, and it´s easy, really easy to realize!
try it!

Many, many thanks to all who have offered help, suggestions, sent links,
sent photos - and even a video! Just tried again to put a fret on and
still no luck. I'm just making the same mistake(s) over and over again
now. I'll get someone to show me how to do it.

Still one opinion: I like and prefer the knot that David vE shows as the

I learned that knot from my old lute teacher Leif Karlson, student of
Michael Shaeffer.
Very strong and reliable knot! Perhaps that will work?

Stuart,
I once went nuts trying to do this - I couldn't figure out why the knot would
not hold, even though I was following the instructions faithfully.
Eventually it occurred to me that it could be due to my fret material. I was
using varnished/smooth string gut. I tried again after lightly sa
I agree with Arto. Just one loop to tie and that's it - about as simple as you
can get.

I think we have to do an intervention. Everyone on the lute list meets
at Stuart's house with several miles of guts, a few dozen bare naked
lute necks, and several cases of strong IPA. Come Hell or high water,
his lute WILL GET FRETTED! And nobody leaves sober.

Interesting. I actually enjoy "Tying one on".

There is a constant learning process during the tying of the first 3
frets which leads to a triumphant sailoresque mastery of knothood. Let's
open a beer to celebrate that. At the fift

I'm living proof that it leads to no such mastery.
