Wound Trichords

[Cy Shuster]

Me, too: don't modern S&S D's have 'em?  Are they bad in that scale design, 
too?

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 mayybe I am full of misconceptions and this is a bad 
idea -- but why?

Thanks for any illumination,

Best regards,
