Dear wise luters: When converting strings from nylon to gut to a synthetic gut, are there simple multiplication factors that one can use to determine the diameter of a replacement string? For example, if I have a 1mm nylon string, and I want to replace it with a gut or synthetic gut, can one simply multiply the diameter by a factor - based on the densities of the material - to find the diameter of the replacement string (pitch, string length, and room temperature being same)? Sorry for the complicated question; I assume the answer will more simple. Also, are 'Nylgut' and 'Alliance' strings material the same density? And lastly, Any recommendations for user friendly online string calculators? Apologies that the questions may have been previously addressed in this group- Thanks, ted jordan
