I appreciate the work done here, but I have to admit I am struggling with some of the data. For example, the list shows the tenor A string for Martin M620s as having a higher tension than the Worth Clears - but I can't imagine that is the case. I use both strings regularly - switching them on and off many tenors. When strung on a uke, the Worth A string has noticeably higher tension than the Martin. Am I missing something here? Does the tension calculations take the density of the strings into account?
Martin and Worth should have same density so tension difference is due to thickness difference only. When you say that Worth is noticeably higher does that mean it is more difficult to bend or less floppy? Are the worth noticeably thicker or louder?
