Strings

Changing the string of a baroque lute is not only a expensive stuff but also requires patience, methode and touch. The steps are:
- Remove the 24 strings,
- Remove the 24 pegs,
- Clean the sound board and finger board,
- Clean and lightly grease the pegs
- Mount the pegs back in the right order (they are all different)
- Fasten the strings
- Tune the 24 strings every hour during 2 weeks
- Finally enjoy the wonderfull sound.
