As Mr Batov pointed out remember to take the string's stretch into
account. When a chanterelle is slackened, the point at the nut moves to
at least the 2nd fret when using nylgut--and sometimes further. That's
means about 10% or more of the string mass taken away from the
vibrating
Dear Ted,
If you know the density of the string material, you get a factor for
diam conv. thus:
from the string equation it follows, that the diameters d1, d2 of two
string substances 1, 2 with density1 and density2 behave as
d2/d1 = Sqrt (density1/density2) = factor x/nyl .
