Inharmonicity formulas as based upon the cross sectional
area of a string.  Essentially the Inh factor would be the
same.  There may be as much a 8% or 9% increase over the
difference between the next size up.  In essence the Inh
will remain the same.  Just use the measurement between to
opposite faces of the core.
