Incorrect details on string tension[edit]

I would like someone with more experience regarding the mechanics of guitar construction to weigh in on the claim at the end of the opening paragraph. The very string tension calculator cited as a reference indicates that the lower strings of each pair (except the low E, which I don't understand) is the higher tension string of each pair. That calculator's page specifically states: "String tension is a product of a string's mass, the pitch it's tuned to, and the string's scale length. Increasing any of these factors will increase string tension, and decreasing any of them will decrease string tension, simple as that." For the time being, I will delete the last sentence of that paragraph (which should be under "modifications" anyway), and if anyone feels that it should be corrected and replaced, feel free. For now, it does not contribute. K9gardner (talk) 13:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC) I decided against deleting that sentence because that would take the footnote with it, and I would like this article to continue to refer to that string tension calculator. This edit requires more craft than I was going to give it, so I'll pause for the moment and revisit when I'm able. — Preceding unsigned comment added by K9gardner (talk • contribs) 13:30, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
