My personal favorite is Vaseline Intensive Care Creamy (comes in a white tube). Very smooth, but use sparingly.

I like Udderly Smooth, which doesn't leave a residue. It's popular among knitters, which is how I found out about it (my wife is a dedicated knitter/spinner).

I like Eucerin Dry Skin Therapy Original Moisturizing Cream. It's pretty thick. I also use some Neutorgena; it's also thick. I get it in the small, travel-size tubes and I can keep one in a lute case. With Eucerin, one must be careful, though. I tried some at a friend's house; it wasn't quite the same thing as I have at home and my fingers squeaked horribly on the nylon strings. Don't know exactly what it was.

Not a moisturizer, but I often keep a dryer sheet in my right pants pocket for a little immediate non-squeak insurance. Really helps my tone. r __ From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu on behalf of Herbert Ward Sent: Mon 2/14/2011 12:14 PM To: lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Subject: [LUTE] Hand moisturizer.

The luters of days gone by seem to have used wine as a hand moisturizer. It wasn't to be applied orally as that would have interfered with the agility of the mind as historical sources advise us.. Folks like Bakfark, Dlugoraj, Jakob Polak and Blancrocher to name but a few however seem to have played better when in a state of intoxication.;-) LvS Op 14 feb 2011, om 18:14 heeft Herbert Ward het volgende geschreven: What is a good hand moisturizer for lute playing?

[LUTE] Re: Hand moisturizer.
This product has been mentioned here before. Bag Balm is probably similar to Udderly Smooth (mentioned by Guy), and other products that were originally intended for cows, but also found to be efficacious for humans (including lutenists). And you can be assured it's authentic, coming, as it does, from Vermont.g A video: http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/products/beauty/Skin-Body-Care/Moisturize-and-Protect/Bag-Balm.html?evar3=search#Product_Video Actually, iirc, the product was originally concocted by the Amish. If your hands are really dry, you can buy it in 4 1/2 lb pails here: http://www.bagbalm.com/ - Original Message - From: Guy Smith guy_m_sm...@comcast.net To: 'Herbert Ward' wa...@physics.utexas.edu; lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Sent: Monday, February 14, 2011 12:29 PM Subject: [LUTE] Re: Hand moisturizer.
