I'm no physicist, but it seems to me that when you stretch a string its density stays the same: it gets thinner and longer. It would get denser if you shrank its length and kept the diameter the same, which I suppose is what happens when you twist it. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
