[CAUT] Wire Stretch

Hi JD

Would you mind sharing how you calculated this ?

    It's easy enough to calculate.  If you have C76 of length 100mm at
    pitch when lying on the surface of the bridge and then lower the wire
    0.5mm into the top of the bridge (some indentation!) then, all else,
    being equal, the frequency of the string will drop about 0.026 Hz.
    producing one beat per 40 seconds against the proper frequency.  The
    difference will be even slighter as the strings get longer.
