Wound Trichords

[Lesher, Trent J.]

Terry, Alan, List:
 
Okay, since nobody's asked yet, I will.  Why are they an abomination?  I had actually been thinking one way to improve the tone of the last couple notes at the low end of the long bridge on my M&H 50 -- C#3, the lowest before the break, is 38-3/4" long -- would be to replace the plain wires with wound ones.  Now it seems maybe I am full of misconceptions and this is a bad idea -- but why?  
 
Thanks for any illumination,
 
Best regards,
 
Trent Lesher

			No, but I’m thinking of going that route.  They also make trichord felt with a thin point for wound trichords.  The problem from them has been the flat dampers.  I don’t like cutting the flats and it’s nice when you can buy flats with the trichords such that the thickness of the flats coordinates with the thickness of the trichords for those dampers that require a combination.
