Hi,

I=B9ve used 20lb monofiliment fishing line as binding for 10 years on dozens
of flutes with very positive results. It looks fine. It=B9s basically see
through and interferes much less with the look of the flute than black
bindings. It=B9s the thicker line that though stronger looks too bulky.
Fishing line is being used by some of the Japanese makers as it doesn=B9t
weaken the bamboo like inlaid rattan bindings can.
