Dear Lute folks,
A friend of mine wrote the following, requesting that I would forward it
to the list. If any of you can suggest any solutions to this problem,
I will forward them to him. He would of course be very grateful.
Thanks, Brad.
"I have a 13 course baroque lute with a swan-neck rider. The rider has
cracked through laterally at the point where it emerges from the main
body of the peghead holding the first 8 courses. I have had this glued
without success, then had new wood grafted into the area, a procedure
that worked for about 4 months. Now I am considering trying this method
again without knowing of any other alternative short of having the
entire piece made again, perhaps an impractical or even impossible
solution.If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would be very happy to
read them."
Many thanks,
David Nichol
