>> When I plot the partial derivative of F'(T) using the values for this string I find that the sensitivity is actually quite small; less than 1/10th of a hertz per Newton << Don't think in Hertz. The difference between 440 and 441Hz is a smaller difference in pitch than between 40 and 41 Hz. Think in cents, it makes calculating easier, and the results are easer to understand too. David
