• String tension table

    From Dario Niedermann@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 11 13:20:13 2021
    Hi! I made the enclosed table to help me decide which set of strings
    to buy next. Tension is expressed in kilograms.

    This table taught me the adjectives used by the manufacturers are best
    ignored. And yes, I double-checked: D'Addario XTC "extra hard" are
    slightly lower-tension than D'Addario XTC "hard"!

    The source spreadsheet is in sc format: if you want it, just ask.
