I actually never thought of it...but it is a good idea as they would tighten up upon drying.

I dip my fingers into water and run the string through them. Then let them sit a little to soften just a tad. If needed, I rewet the part that is going to make the knot so that it is flexible. I tie the fret on below where it is going to end up, and allow it to dry before pulling into position. I don't play lute enough to change frets much, but I have found the wetting to be useful. -Anne Burns On Fri, 9 Mar 2018 09:01:32 -0800, howard posner wrote: > On Mar 9, 2018, at 8:12 AM, John Mardinly wrote: > > My frets never come loose and they have not worn out yet.
