I'm contemplating cold beer and BBQ at Sticks' house tonight....we might not be
the best surf band out there, but know how to have a good time.......eddie k

uneducated guesses about string tension.
from what I remember form physics classes, and just seems intuitivly
right, is that the string length behind bar as well as angle have
SOME influence, because IN THEORY the strings only vibrate between
nut and bridge, but in reality the two short parts vibrate as well,
effectivly functioning as 'knots' in the wave.
even if it doesn't affect frequency, it'll effect the amplitude of
the strings, which I think affects volume rather then pitch, but
might affect the feel the string-tension.
okay, enough yabba yabba - I'm of contemplating the frequency band
effects of d'Addario's lacquered ball ends vs. other brand's plain
brass ball ends.
