I had three days of recording 17th century Dutch songs, and was in
need of a break. See the result for my guitar kids - they love this
song - and see my new toy (bottom right corner). Only excuse for
bothering this list with it is the appearance of my one but latest toy
(top right corner).

It is right an example transport a Theorbo from Italy to Japan using DHL.
There was no physical damage on the instrument.

Dear Philip,
There is a very good page of advice about travelling by air with lute
written by Lynda Sayce on her website at:

She has a lot of experience and her advice is detailed, practical and sensible.
Good luck with your trip.

Dear Bill,
Double fret loops very rarely need tightening in such a fashion (ie
bunging in small wedges). I guess the double length allows a greater
stretch extension (and thus greater leeway) to be achieved.
Also by tying in a higher place (ie closer to the nut) and then pulling
Indeed, Martyn. I normally use double frets myself, but am surprised
at how few people do. Gut miserliness maybe?
I also (horror of horrors) often use nylon for the frets (I'm a
different kind of miser) - I suspect these frets will outlive me! The
only downside I've found with
Gut strings tend to get damaged by our looks at them.

If you are using gut strings the nylon frets could be the reason your

Hi Anthony,
I think you are mistaking me for the person who was breaking his gut
strings. I use New Nylgut most of the time. It works just fine with
nylon frets.

Dear Bill,
Gut also makes grooves - but some old instruments show fret knot
indentation so I'm sanguine about it!
I don't use nylon since I when tried it I found it difficult to fasten
securely using the normal (ie historic) double fret knot without it
slipping a little.
