Richard, wouldn't a less stiff wire result in "lower" inharmonicity?
Could you perhaps tell me where I'm wrong on this? I was under the impression
that inharmonicity goes up as the shorter segments of the wire vibrating
at the higher partials becomes proportionally thicker, thus stiffer.</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Kevin

<p><br>Sorry... brainfart again... shoulda read "lower the inharmonicity"...
which when I think of it makes me even a bit more confused as to just why
inharmonicity is higher in hexcore bass strings.
<p>This also brings up another question in my mind about stiffness in general...
I can easily see how lengthing a string will make it less stiff.... but
its difficult for me to see how increasing tension will do the same.
<p>Now I got TWO unanswered questions... arrggghh..
