Bit of pencil on the low C on my archlutes, near the bridge. Friend if
mine uses a tiny strip of scotch tape, so she can feel where she is.
Koto players use red pencil to mark the position of their moveable
frets.

Things are not that easy.
Ed is right, however it is possible to dye the string just
after
polishing, and this is what the stringmakers that make harp
strings usually do.
This is done using a double component coloured varnish and
using a
sponge. Of course, in this case you obtain a varnished string.
It is possible to do the same job on a unvarnished gut string
it
using an alcool soluble pigment and a few of cotton.
Then put on the string a bit of almond oil when the string is
well
dried

Oggetto: [LUTE] Re: dying strings
Hi Ed,
At Gamut strings, we sometimes dye them, but we do this when
the gut
is
wet, before the string is twisted and constructed. After
the
string
is twisted, dry and ready to be used, we do not color our
strings
because we would have to soak them to make them wet again, and
this
would probably destroy the string, we do not know.
We would be interested to know if anyone knows how to
successfully
dye
a gut string already constructed.
Best,
Ed Martin
