Hi, Thanks to all who responded. I didn't know Mapes had already developed a 'modified' string set for the problem. (No sense reinventing the wheel!) Harvey, I'm sorry I cluttered up the space with things previously beat to death. It wasn't intended to irritate. But I found what I needed in just a few sentences. I appreciate your sending me to the archives. No doubt there's an incredible amount of information there. Unfortunately, it's not very easy to use, unless I'm doing something terribly wrong. When I use the search, it gives me a list of places I can go to get XX. But when I get there, I find a jumbled and scrambled mess. Posts, and repeats of posts with one line added, then 10 posts of totally different content, then the original post again with the one line added, plus one more line... I must be doing something wrong. So call it laziness, if you want to, but I just posted my question in hopes that someone could point me in the right direction. They did. A while back, Ron and I were talking about soundboard impedance and he suggested I look through the archives. I've spent about 7 hours now with the search feature and the archives and still have not come across much of any consequence. I'm really trying here, but I'm not getting to far. Help if you can, flame if you must, or delete if you don't care. Wishing you the best, Brian Trout Quarryville, Pa.
