Well, there is a very passionating reading about Mary Stuart , in fact it's

One other thing in addition to the other suggestions of smoothing and
lubricating the grooves of the nut...
When tuning a string, I first loosen it just enough to break its friction
against the nut, then bring it up to pitch, slowly but steadily so the nut
doesn't grab it.

Howdy lute list -
I've been away for a while, and rejoin to ask if there are any lutenists in
or near Quebec City, Quebec who might be available to accompany a fabulous
singer in a program of Dowland lute songs for an academic conference from
November 3-6, 2005?

Hello Thomas,
Thank you for the vote of confidence.
It is always a pleasure to hear from you.
When adjusting a peg, I recomend to proceed
slowly and not try to make large, sudden changes.
If using sand paper, I would not only fine grit,
such as finer than 250, or even 400, finishing
off with 600 o
Hello Miles,
I know what you mean about tugging the string to equalize the
tension. I have tried this and the pitch changes as a result of it
about 20-30% of the time. In any case when the tensions are
unequal in the two parts of the string it signifies an instability
that is likely to equalize in
Something that I haven't yet seen in this thread:
The string consists of 2 segments: a) between the peg and the nut, b)
between the nut and the bridge.
When there is friction at the nut, it's possible to turn the peg
slightly in either direction, changing the tension of the string
between the p

Hello Tim,
Good ideas! One way to avoid many truns around the peg without
cutting the string is to coil up the excess string at the back of the
pegbox. I have seen this done with requinto strings also. It is
better than cutting the strings because by leaving them long you
can put them on other sma
Hi Sean,
Thanks for the tip. Will try it the beeswax next time I have
a the problem although my lutes seem ok now. Have you
ever tried parafin?

Dear Dana,
It's nice to see you back on line. This message from Oak Knoll Press may
be of interest to you and others on the List. That publisher specializes in
works about book manufacture and bibliography.

Derek,
I've used Ivory soap in the grooves on my nut. Same idea as beeswax.
Another reason for the non-linear tuning can be that you have excess
string wound around the peg in an irregular pattern. So that as you
turn the peg, you (in effect) have a peg with a changing diameter,
leading to change
As for Rizzio:
I happened to be in Edinburgh recently, and visited Holyrood House.
There is a portrait of Rizzio there, which shows him holding a violin -
just what we would expect for a famous lute player...
The account of his murder by Mary's hsuband and his cronies also claims
that he was

Just before you try everything at once :^) I prefer beeswax to graphite
since it doesn't leave black marks on your nut. But definitely make
sure your grooves are round (and a slightly greater radius than the
string) first.

Hi all
I would second Marion's recommendation. In most cases a bit of graphit will
help.
Another problem could be the pegs itself: They should be round and move
smoothly. If they are not they will stick a bit in the pegbox and when
turned make a farer move than you want them to. In this case
