> Hello Ron and list, > > Very interesting ideas in terms of string length, but what about changes in > tension? You change tension in tuning by turning pins and changing string length. Shortening the string, or lengthening the path will raise the tension. What I'm talking about is changes in path length, therefor changes in tension. The un-stretched string length isn't changed. > I've always assumed that the main thing going on with seasonal pitch changes > was a result of adding and reducing tension due to the rise and fall of the > board as it reacts to changes in it's moisture content. That's what we've always been taught, but the numbers don't come close to supporting it. Ron N
