Thanks Isaac, for an interesting subject.
Most techs I know are not really aware of all the treasures we may find 
when we delve into this subject.
But indeed, after having mated the strings, the trouble is that you 
would have to do this very often because a perfect match changes with 
one concert.
The very best result is thus only possible at a concert level, where 
the instrument is checked every day for every performance.
