String Tension calculator spreadsheet
Hi everyone,
in the loothalong I shared this spreadsheet I put together a few years ago, based on D’ADDARIO phosphor bronze strings data, and Elixirs’ as well.
There are a few different tables for standard 6 strings, fanfrets, harp guitars, baritone and 12 strings. You choose the relevant table, input the scale length, string gauges and tuning, the spreadsheet will give you individual string and total tension in lb and kg.
For the fanfret you must input the short and long scale, all the other strings get calculated automatically.
Let me know if you want/need some mods
@ianhatesguitars I put this here, but I’m sure it could be useful for repairs as well, so do as you wish with it 😉
