You can find Delrin at most plastics supply companies. I used to use it
occasionally to machine parts for lab apparatus. It's one of the easiest

the pegbox, I just make a little coil of the extra string, much like you see

Madison has an excellent early music festival that includes a number of
concerts by major early music groups plus a week of classes taught by the
members of the performing groups. I attended a couple of years ago (it drew
over 100 students) and enjoyed it immensely. I'd recommend it to anyone,
IIRC, there's a Bakfark intabulation that runs around 18 minutes. I heard
Jacob Herringman play part of it once, but that was some years ago and I
don't recall the name.
