Using this system, the first fret on a lute would be 1.00mm, the second fret 0.95mm, the third fret 0.90mm, and so on. On most lutes the thinnest size of fret that is practical is 0.65mm, so depending on the number of tied frets required by your instrument, you may need to use one, two, or three of the 0.65 frets to complete the fretting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca title=\"Historical String-Making\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.gamutmusic.com\/pages\/historical-string-making\"\u003eHistorical String-Making\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca title=\"Care and Cleaning of Gut Strings\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.gamutmusic.com\/pages\/care-and-cleaning\"\u003eCare and Cleaning of Gut Strings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Academie","offers":[{"title":"No Varnish","offer_id":46663778599142,"sku":"TF02","price":107.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Varnish (+$40.00)","offer_id":46663778631910,"sku":"TF02-V","price":147.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/6389\/9110\/files\/academie-insert-1280x1280-bw__87631.1645569392.1280.1280.gif?v=1738726022"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.gamutmusic.com\/collections\/7-course-renaissance-lute-gut-strings.oembed","provider":"Gamut Music, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
