Yes, but the problem is low break% in the low tenor. The strings are too 
short and the tensions too low. That's why wrapped strings improve the 
tone down there. You've tied strings together. Since they don't move 
exactly in sync, each effectively adds it's mass to the other, which 
lowers pitch, and increases break% when they are pulled back up to pitch.
