Hi Alexander, Thank you. Since my question is unrelated to fretting and is only related to tuning Pythagoras's relation does not apply. The Mersenne relation does apply when tuning and the derivative of F ~ sqrt(T) Is F'(T) ~ 1/sqrt(T) This is where my thought that increasing the a h

David, according to Pythagoras, When the tension on a string remains the same but the length L is varied, the period of the vibration is proportional to L. According to Mersenne - When the length of a string is held constant but the tension T is varied, the frequency of oscillation is proportion
