Stringed instruments require stringing.
Maglor has used many sets of strings.
For TEW Day 2 (Lutherie and Instrument-Making).
A poem in 100 words.
(See the end of the work for more notes.)
A set of copper from Mahtan
A set of shining alloy from Feanor
A set of sea foam from Salmar
A set of his own black hair
A set of horse hair from Lothlann
A set of hithlain from Doriath
A set of steel wire from Belegost
A set of his own black hair
A set of wolf gut from Ossiriand
A set of wild nettle from Andram
A set of his own black hair
A set of his own black hair
and the pegs made of bone
A set of his own black hair
and pegs made of seashell
Salmar is a Maia of Ulmo who was associated with stringed instruments and befriended the Noldor (Salmar bio by Dawn Felagund).
The idea that hithlain might have been used in Doriath is my own, used by me previously in a ficlet about Celeborn and Galadriel (Hithlain).
