Included in this brochure String Tensions are tension tables and formulas to help you Acoustic or Electric Guitar 6 calculate what tension a particular string will Pedal Steel Guitar 7 have on your instrument. Acoustic Guitar 7 Classical Guitar 8 Folk Guitar 10 Electric Bass Guitar 10 Acoustic Bass Guitar 13 Mandolin Family Strings 13 Banjo & Loop End Strings 14 A complete technical reference for fretted instrument string tensions Understanding what determines string tension. In order to determine the tension at which a string will vibrate, you need three pieces of information: the Unit Weight, the Scale Length, and the Frequency of the string. You can use the charts in this brochure to get a pre-calculated tension for the D’Addario strings listed or you can use the formulas below to calculate the exact tension for any string using the scale length of your particular instrument. All of the charts illustrate string tensions for each string at a variety of pitches, in case you use alternative tunings. UW- Unit Weight. In all the charts and formulas in the brochure, unit weight is expressed in pounds per linear inch (lb/in). L- Scale Length. This is the vibrating length of the string. This is determined by measuring the distance from the nut to the bridge of the instrument in inches (in).
