Hello Marion,
Thank you for the information on strings, I find this kind of thing useful.
While I use
Hannabach medium tension on my alt, I have found that using the D'Addario string
tension
guide for their rectified nylon group, has come up with a sting set for the 63cm
terz that is
very effective. To save doing the calculations, if you ever need the serial
numbers, I shall be
happy to send them. Incidentally, the calculation is based on the classical
string tension
formula for a purely flexible string(1D wave equation result, ignoring elastic
lateral "beam-
bending"). I use Hannabach special order, Fsharp sets for my 65cm tenors to
simulate
renaissance pitch. Occassionally, I find that the top string of this set is
better replaced by a
low tension D'Addario top E--tuned up.
I tried the Malmo email address-for the fourth time now-for the book of alt
music,still no
response...?
I did assume that your suggestion over the two famous French scientists was at
least partly
humorous! However, there is a very strong correlation between mathematical
ability and
musical ability, hence my response.
I have posted the "Suite", airmail, on 29th., so, hopefully, within the next wee
while it should
arrive.
All the best,
James.
