Therefore producing the different musical notes?

(If you had any idea how fierceIy I've avoided using the word "resonate" in its trendy context--used in place of the elegant, direct, time-tested word "appeal"--you'd know just how damn pleased I am to have just used in nearly the proper context. It's still incorrect, but the pun-factor drove me to do it. Guitar strings don't resonate; they vibrate and cause the body of the instrument to resonate. At least, in my simple world, that's how it all works. So, maybe I'm within six degrees of correct. After all, Kevin Bacon has heard sound resonating from a guitar, right?) --Chris Lawson BD wrote: >>Chris Lawson wrote: >-I'd recommend a John Pearse medium gauge B-2nd (.017) silvered steel for daytime and weave in a couple dressier G-3rd (.026) bronze wound strings for evening. If I felt like making that ugly American statement, I'd go with the extra chubby E-6th (.056) bronze wounds. Okay, it's new thread.< - ----- And a bronze one at that! :-) << _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
