Without a doubt this string is louder and has more sustain than what I was using. It's an improvement, definitely. It seems to sound less thin and have more...
Hello Glen! One thing not in your report is your impressions of how well the string tremelo's. I tend to like high octave tremelos. I've had problems with ...
Thanks, Glenn: I've been out of touch on new strings for a couple of years now, so I've stayed with a treble set that sounds remarkable to me: 1= Hannabach PR...
The strings aren't thin at all. They're especially not like the flimsy fishing line you and I are used to. These are real guitar strings with no special...
Now day two with the new KF string, and I'm very impressed. It's nothing short of a breakthrough, if you ask me. I don't know how the high A will sound, but...
Nice strings. I like them very much. This is the string I personally have been waiting for. Anybody want a shoe box full of fishing line? They're especially...
John, I think you will have to take up fishing now. What a concept, using fishing line for fishing, instead of for guitar strings. I am sure pleased with this...
Hello Friends! Anyone here tested or plan on testing the KF30 or KF33??? I am particularly interested if either of those strings can go as high as a 'b' note...
I think you're just going to have to invest in some of those strings and conduct the experiment on your own. It's worth the money to find out once and for all...
Glen ,,, I think you're right,,,most likely I'll have to do it myself. Actually! ,,, I've known for a long time that 15lb test nylon fish line at about 45 cm...
Fishing line works fine but don't you find that you "tune it up till it breaks?" It never settles in because it's designed to stretch. If you hook a 4 pound...
Fred, Glad you didn't take me up on my bet. The thinner strings turn out to be somewhat useless. You reach a point of diminishing returns where you expect ...
John, Have you by chance tried a KF47 at G? The KF45 is doing fine, but I'm just curious if the KF47 would be even better. Haven't heard back from Scott yet...
On the site juststrings.com, they have tensions up for most of their strings in the single string order section. The tensions for Savarez are blank. They...
Thanks for investigating this. Savarez will likely give the tensions in something other than lbs. I wonder if your sister in law asked for them to give the...
I'll ask but it's 2.2 pounds per kilogram unless they give it to us in Newtons or erg-feet-per-second or something weird. James can double check us in any...
Hello John! The results you're getting are a little less than what I was hoping for,,,but not neccecarily surprising. So that means to use either of those...
And the answer is: Le formulaire de calcul de tension est actuellement mis à jour. SI vous souhaitez ête mis au courant lors de sa mise en ligne, vous pouvez...
On tensions, American makers usually give tensions in pounds(force), with equivalents in kilograms(force). As John indicated, to get from kgf to lbf, simply...
Hello Fred, I have been away for a few days, so, not able to respond immediately. I think you have a misunderstanding of the role of 40 cm scale for an octave...
Thanks. I haven't used any of that in a very long time. _____ From: 10string@yahoogroups.com [mailto:10string@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of J R Smith Sent:...
That's some good stuff to know, James. I printed it out and put it along with my other string tension charts/info. It might come in handy someday. Glen ... ...
Just got an email from Scott at stringsbymail. Here is what he has to say. I noticed a typo in the email below. I meant to say that the KF50 was around 16...
He must have gotten the tension formula before they took it down for update. From: 10string@yahoogroups.com [mailto:10string@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Hello James! Actually! I think you misunderstood me. I never said you can't get a real guitar string to go to e'' at 40cm as you said you can. But you've...
I see that the KF50 is about the same as a D'Addario J46 high tension 1st string. Going strictly by feel and sound alone, I think if I go up just one diameter...
John, Glen, Just after I posted the conversion factor for daN to lbf, it struck me that although my conversion factor was correct, my explanation was wrong....
