Dear Ed
I should have remembered that Venice is very flexible and
needs tuning up over a few days, so that the ammount of string on the
peg continues to build up. I put the strings on two days ago, and it
only occurred this morning.
I hate cutting the strings, but this time, I clearly made a mistake.
How long does hide glue take to dry, do you happen to know? I will
need to take it to a lute maker. I would prefer it to be Stephen, but
as it is a decoration, I don't suppose it is so important.
Regards
Anthony

Dear Anthopny,
I think hide glue would be the safest bet. I have never seen this
happen
before; it is good to use a little extra of the string, but next
time, do
not include too much length of the string, to the point of where it
creates
problems. Good luck with it, Anthony.

Dear Lutenists
While carrying out my latest octave tweak, replacing the
octaves with Venice Meanes, I left the string a little too long: once
the strings were up to tension, the thickness at the peg, pushed out
the pegbox decoration.
Here is a picture of how it was before this occurred:

My question, what glue, apart from hide glue (without heating) can I
use to glue it back? I suppose it must be reversible.
I imagine it only needs a small drop, as it has only moved in the
last upper 3rd.
I would be grateful for suggestions.
Regards
Anthony
