Yes, Stan, that is my understanding too. There was a confusion about what factor was invariant, and what was changing, but Frank made it clear. Sorry for the mixing up. Best regards.

I'm really only jumping in here to ask a question which may be appropriate at this point. Is it not true that the increase in thickness/mass needed to raise the tension of a string at a given length also makes the string less flexible? And is this not a factor in the increased inharmonicity which seems to be a characteristic of high-tension scales? That has been my understanding, but I'd be happy to be corrected if that is not the case. Regards, -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
