Cali and Alden, and anyone else:
I am trying to calculate strings I need for an instrument (not a HG),
and am at a loss. Just for comparison's sake, what is the string
tension and usual vibrating length on a HG that you folks make, and
what string gauges of gut would you use for stringing chanterelles,
if the customer so desired? I think the instrument I have would
withstand about the same tension as a HG, so it would certainly help
me figure it out. I am using Arto's string calculator for my
calculations (http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/mus/Calcs/
wwwscalc.html) but if anyone has any other suggestions they'd be very
welcome.
The instrument I am stringing up, by the way, can be viewed at:

I'll be using Nylgut, which has similar density to regular gut, but
is very reliable. Anyone tried it for HGs yet?
Thanks so much!
