The original tool is flawed with bad data in places, but IMO, far better than the new Sunny Design tool, that attempts to do too much. I'd like to see SMA go through all the data in the original String Sizing Tool and keep it available.

Even with the new tool, SMA recommends that we do our own math.

This is an event that was foretold to us during a training session with SMA early last year. I am surprised it took so long!

I'm soooo bummed out that SMA has removed their handy and easy to use string sizing tool from their website and replaced it with a cumbersome monster of a design program. (Yes, at my age I do struggle with having to learn yet another bloomin' program.)

Does anyone know if there's some magic way to be able to find/use their old string sizing program somewhere?

Or has it been banished to the deep, dark dungeon of SMA corporate HQ in Germany forever?

Thanks,
marco
