Given that the tensile strength of today's wire is said to be higher, I = just interpret the Sanderson calculation with this in mind.

I like the = neatness of the wraps etc. But as much as this I find the tone color of = the scaling a bit darker thru out but I find it especially refreshing = in the top of the bass scales where typically many makers get a bit thin = & whiny sounding which I believe is a tension problem. I haven't checked but I'd guess at a bit heavier scaling being = employed which, in my limited scaling experience gives a darker tone = with more power. IE the Old 1920's stwy L scale in the region of notes 20 - 26 = were scaled toward the 70% of breaking strength & they sounded awesome. = When on occasion I have replaced sets where the tension was reduced in = this area the tone suffers greatly. ON having it corrected the tone came = back. I'm not finding this weakness in the Arledge strings at present. I'm interested in any ones feedback be it objective or subjective.
