You'd probably have to hire a recording artist to register the harmonic frequency, and then a musician to replicate it, though. And lord knows what different temperatures would do to the tuning. The aluminum mast would expand with heat in much the same way as the stainless steel stays, but the overall length of the boat changes with temperature, so in hot weather the tension in the stays would be greater than in cold. Frankly, I think using a Loos gauge would be cheaper and less bother. <BR/>--John VigorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266108914902271629.post-89722826309535634722009-02-05T13:48:00.000-08:002009-02-05T13:48:00.000-08:00When I tune my bandsaw I pluck the blade to a cert...When I tune my bandsaw I pluck the blade to a certain note. I wonder if you could pluck the stays to adjust them? OdedOded Kishonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506528977182027366noreply@blogger.com
