I have a question. Why all the traffic in speculation? Why not measure the speaking length and diameter, calculate the tension, and look up the breaking strength? You can calculate the break% when it's tuned to 440, and see for yourself if it's the scaling. I don't understand why someone with a problem doesn't want to know the answer badly enough to work it out when the information you need is available. Ron N
