Sorry... brainfart again... shoulda read "lower the
inharmonicity"... which when I think of it makes me even a bit
more confused as to just why inharmonicity is higher in hexcore
bass strings.

This also brings up another question in my mind about stiffness
in general... I can easily see how lengthing a string will make
it less stiff.... but its difficult for me to see how increasing
tension will do the same.

Now I got TWO unanswered questions... arrggghh..
