Hi folks Ron O, thanks muchly for the long and insightful post. Lots of good info coming through now. Our little group hopes to put together and release soon a basic spreadsheet with an interface that lends itself well to learning about scaling work fairly soon. It is my hope all interested will be able to share various scales on this same platform for discussion and collective enlightenment. One thing I'd like to get really crystal clear on this theme. The calculation of end lengths for single and double wounds. I am getting the sense that while end lengths are extremely important to get consistent during the actual string making process, they are not so important to consider in a scale design program / spreadsheet. I've read a couple exceptions to that position... but much of what I read seems to point in that direction. Is this correct or have I misunderstood ? One other point.... Hex string. I would very much appreciate any comments pertinent to how inharmonicity works out when hex core is used. I seem to recall that inharmonicity is generally lessened when hex core is used. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks RicB
