String Tension Calculator & Gauge Suggestions

Login to vote

It would be great to have a simple string tension calculator built into GTDB, something approximate but useful, where users can input scale length and tuning, and get rough tension values for each string.

Even better, the site could suggest appropriate string gauges based on tuning and scale length, especially helpful for non-standard or extreme tunings.

This could tie into the database over time by showing which string sets are most commonly used with certain tunings.
