From the D'Addario Tension Chart: A-string, .80 gauge, roundwound, tension: 42 pounds... A-string, .80 gauge, half-round, tension: 43 pounds... A-string, .80 gauge, Flatwound, tension: 43.7 pounds... Just tought I'd mention it...

yup, flats do have more tension than rounds, because they have slightly more mass: the grooves between the wrapping wire on a roundwound are filled in a flatwound string which is smooth... And the fact that they are stiffer adds to the feeling of more tension as well... PJ

Originally posted by 82Daion Everything you have said is at least part of the reason why this thread exists. We just use it as a blog/hangout/conversation area as so not to clutter the rest of the forum. Think of it as a lounge. Also, where's Ivor? Fair enough, I might actually start aging out here, then... it's friday so I should feel louge-ish somewhere in the afternoon... PJ

I'm a lazy bastard and I'm not really in the mood to read 260+ pages of pointless posts, but what's the point of this thread? It's been a round for quite some time and I always see it popping it's head up... What are we trying to acomplish? Eternity? Or we just want that guy who started the thread to fell silly for saying that he killed threads? Gimme some answers, NOW! Please... PJ
