Knots & Installing Tailgut

Aug 9th 2024

With the introduction of our new 3-D printed ball ends (and the ongoing discontinuation of our knotted ends string option) there has been an increased interest in knots!

Our Articles/FAQ page has instructions on tying string knotsstring-leaders, and viol and lute frets, as well as installing tailgut on modern and historical tailpieces, and we've also included links to videos on installing strings.
