Right, you can not really see winding in the photo. What holds the strings
together, actually, are the bulges at the ends of gut strings (when you burn
the gut, it distends)- like in a well known way of tying a single fret. When
you wrap them with some sort of thread and treat it with super
I have used super glue to splice strings overspun with metal.
There were no bulges, but it worked OK anyhow.
To harden super glue instantly, apply a mixture of baking soda
and water to the glue.

I use a grapevine knot. I learned that in my rock-climbing days as a
bombproof way to tie into a rope. Probably overkill, but if it can hold a
twenty foot leader fall, it should be able to handle a lute string:-)
FWIW

A trick I learned from Grant Tomlinson (for tying fret knots, but the
principle is the same), is to work the string back and forth over the
length
that will be part of the knot. That softens up the gut and makes
Since the use of cyanoacrylate (super glue) was suggested, then this knot :

works very well for gut of any diameters. Gut ends are slightly burned, to
swell the ends, a thread is wrapped tightly around, and a drop of super glue
applied. No need
oh, any old thread, as long as it takes and hold the glue. Besides the
strength, this is a very portable knot. Regards, alexander.

Looks good, Alexander, but what thread do you use?
I remember, years ago,
The edge of a sail is seamed with a continuous rope, the corners have
loops (bends) spliced in, and sheets, tacks, and other ropes that guide
the sail are fastened to those loops.
Sheets are traditionally fastened using a sheet bend knot.

I can't wait to try this. This looks like it could get another cm or so
out of a string. The strings are overexposed in the photo but I guess
you just put the two ends together and lay a bead of super glue along
the common boarder???
Recently, I used superglue on a gut string that
