| I play tens on my Loomis(26.5" scale) and on my 25.5" scale guitars and really don't notice a difference. The actual increase in tension is about 8%. So it's there but I don't find it to be obvious. Plus as strings get longer they get easier to bend so the difference in the tension you calculate isn't what you feel under your fingers.
The materials used to make strings break down like this. Pure nickel is the warmest of the three, nickel steel is brighter and stainless steel is the brightest. This is only a rough guide though as things like the core size of the strings and the actual metals used play a big part. The only proof he needed for the existance of God was music.
