The only thing you can do with that string is cut the frayed end off and use it
for a shorter lute if you have one (and if the gauge is suitable). Is it
recent (it certainly doesn’t look it!).
Best,

Thanks Sean and Luke. I did polish a little. Iâll have to put on two
pairs of eyeglasses and give it another go. But what about the string?
Anything I can do to save that 5th course string that looks like it may
break?

Hi Ed
It looks like the groove for the string isn't wide enough, and has a
sharp top edge which is cutting into the string.
Ideally the nut grooves should be wider than the string diameter, so it
touches only at the bottom and the grooves only guide the string and do
not offer any
