Heat tends to dealign (randomize) molecules. For example,

properties of nylon.
doesn't heat have something to do with aligning - or,
in this case, re-aligning - nylon molecules?

I know that this doesn't go directly to your question, but harp strings
are usually dyed red for C and blue for F. Part of the dying process involves
boiling or close to it. On new nylon strings (except from being really flexible
while they are still hot) the boiling has no noticable e
