Or pass the fret gut under the strings further down the soundboard (easier), then sliding it up toward the peg head.

There is nothing mor e annoying than starting to move a fret into position and realising that a strin g has escaped your attention and is above the fret rather than below it! Yep - I thought I mentioned that in the video - but maybe it was in an out-take. About not accidentally tying a fret with a string between it and the fretboad, I have found when passing the fret gut under the strings, it works well if I bend the fret gut in a big loop of several inches and pass the âpointâ of the bow un der the strings. It often even has a bit of an arch to it so it is bending towar ds the fretboard rather than trying to slip above a string.
