Dear Roman,

perhaps my online string calculator is of some help there:
Just select pitch, length of the strings and diapasons and your instrument
and it will calculate an entire set.
You can adjust tension and length of each string to match your instrument.

You can find it at: http://calc.lauten.com/en/strcal_en.htm
FAQ and manual are at: http://www.resoldo-milare.de/calc.htm

For 97cm, 415Hz, octaves, carbonfiber it suggests:
B 0,629 (2,9 kg)
A 0,707 (2,9 kg)

87.5cm, all 2,9 kg
E: 0,523
D: 0,587
C: 0,659

BTW: Feedback and suggestions for improvements of the calculator are very
welcome.

Hope that helps,

Benjamin Stehr

Dear collective wisdom,
What carbonfiber guages would be appropriate in your opinion for octaves A
and B at 97cm, and C, D and E at 87.5cm?

Thanks in advance,
RT
