String Gauge Chart

Jon Light · From: Saugerties, NY

I found this in my files. Among the charts and apps I've seen, this is the best I've got in terms of basic at-a-glance multi-scale guidance.
Just thought I'd share.

It is sharper for printout as a pdf file which I can send to any email requests.

For comparison, here's John Ely's chart. Downloadable as a PDF here http://www.hawaiiansteel.com/arrangements/download.php. John kindly allowed me to include this chart in my Slide Rules book of tunings.

Yeah--I've got that too. What I like here is the inclusion of different scales. Just another quick-glance aid.
Whether or not people concur with these values is another thing and a worthy subject of discussion.

Very handy, this information will save a lot of searching...thank you Jon and Andy. My favorite scale has turned out to be 24 1/2" I suppose the gauges would be close enough using the 24" scale graph as a guide, correct? Can you say "Sticky" ?!?!?!?!?! Smile
