I acquired a lute with some damage to the soundboard. There is a buzzing loose brace and an open soundboard-bowl seam.
If I push the seam closed with my finger, the buzzing stops. So I want to tape the seam closed until my luthier comes back from vacation. But I'm afraid duct tape would leave a residue of adhesive on the finish. Also, it might creep and not keep the seam closed for more than a few days. Is there a good way to close the seam temporarily until the luthier can fix the lute? To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
