This is a good start and you deserve a lot of credit for the work you did.

Another issue with wound strings is the core. A thicker core means more tension. GHS for example says their strings have a thicker core than Ernie Ball strings. So the GHS strings have more tension. But without the unit weight of the strings in question its hard to say with any real certainty. Plus stainless steel wound strings have more tension then nickel plated steel.

But until more manufacturers do what D'Addario did and publish a string tension guide it will be hard to tell. GHS, on their forum, has said it may publish a string tension chart which will be very nice if they do it. I hope they do. It will be especially useful in seeing how materials affect tension, because GHS makes a lot more types of strings than D'Addario.

Again. you did a hell of a lot of good work Mind Riot.
