Umm---why don't you just tighten the frets yourself? That's a very
basic thing every lute player should know how to do. Its like being
able to tie your shoes as a kid--

Just ship by UPS. Mel says he has never had a problem shipping by
UPS.

Hello
I have an 8 course Yamaha lute, about 30 years old. Have not been
able
to play it lately because frets are loose, strings won't stay on
etc.
I
would like it to have professional attention.
I have called around. Not many folks around here have repaired
lutes.
They would have to send it out.
Recommendations?
Thanks
Cyndi
