My experience with prestretched nylgut is that it resumes its previous relaxed
length to a great extent. As I explained in a previous post, I had a treble break
near the bridge, leaving enough string to retie it and re-use it. In the short time
it was relaxed, it lost any previous length it had gained under tension. It took, as
with a new string, several days to "settle in" to a stable condition. Fortunatley I
do not perform, or this could be a disaster! :^(
