Thanks Bruno, that sheet bend knot does look like the one I remember
Stephen used.
Better probably for quite a thick bass string, while the square knot
might work better for a thinner string.

better.

Dear All
I may need to lengthen a string which does not quite reach
the
peg, but goes well beyond the nut. I would like to attach it to a
slightly thinner short piece of gut to reach the peg in question.
I
remember that Stephen Gottlieb had done that for several strings
on my
lute; but I can no longer remember the type of knot he used. Can
anyone
advise me, or tell me of a page where this knot is described.
Regards
Anthony
