[LUTE-BUILDER] Re: Peg Sharpener Source
Dear Sterling, I found it best to make my own to fit my own reamers. There are various ways to do this - mine is: Drill and ream a tapered hole in a piece of suitable wood (I used some mahogany); plane down to get a parallel sided slit along the length of the taper, cut and grind an edge on a piece of mild steel (like a plane blade - but straight - to act as a pencil sharpener like blade); cut two slots in the blade for screws (or bolts) to adjust the cut and fasten blade to wood. By trial and error you'll find the best projection into the slot to produce a thin shaving. You can, if you wish, finish off by removing the blade and clamping some good quality abrasive paper (cloth backed is best) onto a rigid backing to the slot side and giving the pegs a few turns in this. In practice I also often use the same blade on a number of slotted wooden tapers to produce pegs of different diameters.

[LUTE] Re: Rose?
Hi Josh, partially blocking the soundhole will take the resonant frequency of the body cavity down, and weaken that resonance a bit. The sound of the lowest notes will be affected. You might be able to get an idea of the sort of thing by carefully bringing the flat of your hand down to shade the soundhole as you let the lowest note sound. My observation on a number of varied instruments is that the resonant frequency is a minor third above the lowest note, but andy Joshua E. Horn wrote: Hi guys, I have an early morning idea that I want to get opinions on. As I mentioned a couple days ago, I bought myself a Guilele. It is plain however, it does not have any designs around the sound hole. My idea is to print out a pattern of a Lute rose on stiff paper (or parchment), scaled down to the size of my soundhole, and carve it out on a thin sheet of Balsa wood. Then I would place it in my Guilele's sound hole. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Thanks Rainer for this information! Next question - is this source available online, or might anyone be able to let me have a copy of this piece? It's really rather extraordinary, I'd love to play it!

Dear Sterling, I use a similar method to Martyn's, only instead of making my own blades I have found that the replacement blades by StewMac work well. I've made maybe a half-dozen wooden taper jigs in this way for different tapers/sizes of reamers. I can send you photos, if you'd like.

[LUTE-BUILDER] Re: Peg Sharpener Source
Sterling, The Stew-Mac device can be made to work if you're persistent. Making your own is probably best, assuming you have a reamer. Are you trying to fit a whole new set of pegs, or just touching up some that have gone slightly oval? A little chalk and a deft touch with a file might see you through. Just for reference, Lemuel Violin Supply (http://www.violins.ca/tools/tools_herdim.html) is a North American distributor for Herdim shapers, which would be the ones to get if you were using them every day. -Ted To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

I made a shaper a while ago per the David Van Edwards but I wanted a comercial one. I just ordered a Chinese these thing from Ebay so I hope that works. --Sterling From: Andrew Hartig cittern2...@theaterofmusic.com To: lute-buil...@cs.dartmouth.edu Sent: Monday, March 4, 2013 12:01 PM Subject: [LUTE-BUILDER] Re: Peg Sharpener Source Dear Sterling, I use a similar method to Martyn's, only instead of making my own blades I have found that the replacement blades by StewMac work well.
