But I invite all you proper physicists out there to explain why!
I have a PhD in experimental physics.
The term resonant frequency is a bit complicated.
A string has a resonant frequency (its pitch).
But a string's resonant frequency is obviously different from
a lute's resonant frequency.
I'm considering installation of geared pegs on my lute.
The website (http://www.pegheds.com) says that any
qualified repair person can do the installation. But
that is probably for violins, cellos, etc.
Would a violin repair person be able to do the installation?
Are there fundamental
As an exercise, I pose this question. A cymbal has no definite
pitch, but it rings for a long time. So it does not follow the
rules below. Why?

The last time I changed strings, I had a crochet
hook. I found it useful in manipulating the strings
in the tight confines of the pegbox.
If you would like to try it, I would suggest
size 1.8 mm. And I would suggest avoiding
the cheaper hooks, as the working end is sometimes
ill-formed due
I found a little hook tool for electronics at Harbor Freight Tools. A couple of
bucks and it, too, is very helpful.
How did your experiments go at getting the string to slide easily over the nut?

Herbert -
I think that a string has many resonant narrow frequencies, all musically
related to each
other. A cymbal has many narrow resonant frequencies, all *not* musically
related
to each other. So our ears do not add them up into one musical note.
But the cymbal does resonate.

Delightful salon music.

Hi,
Here is the list of new lute intabulations, or corrected and reworked
intabulations in Fronimo, with better layouts on IMSLP.
