As long as the wire wasn't yanked up to "level" it, thereby destroying the elastic curve around the "termination point". Easy to "imagine" the inharmonicity being screwed up if that happened. So whether it (wire) "flexes" more on "the thin and sharp",(termination) or "bends" more with the "wide and round" I don't see how this affects inharmonicity. Experiments could be done. So far I haven't seen inharmonicity formulas that consider termination radius. ---ric
