think about it a thicker string will increase the tension
therefore this should improve the harmonics!  improved
harmonics improved tone.  But on the down side - there will be
more down baring on the sound board and possible instability
in the tuning due to an in balance of tension across the frame
the choice is yours



Frame = UK  Plate = US
