Great sound does anyone have a cord chart for the tuning:
I use this tuning on my koa tenor Fluke with Martin M620 strings, and NEVER EVER EVER tune them higher and then tune down, otherwise the strings are already too stretched and your intonation is shot.
ONLY tune UP to EAC#F# and NEVER higher and you are fine.
If you tune down, they will appear to go to the new tension but they have not properly relaxed, so they will feel floppy. If you leave them overnight, you will find they have gone up in pitch - they are responding to the reduced stress but are reverting some way towards their previous state, so you have to retune as you do with new strings. Over time, they will relax properly and settle into the new tuning but like with new strings, it takes time.
I don't believe polymers or plastics having any big memory like that. What happens is that what you have in past the nut, possibly also in bridge, will take time to compensate the tension.
I'm not talking about the initial creep that is of course also considerable.
