This page has lots of info on nylon string tensions, string calculators, etc.

It could possibly be of interest for folks selecting strings for unusual scale instruments. (?)

Also, for the thrifty (?), info on using fishing line for strings is there as well.

Thanks John. I'd been to his site quite some time ago, but he's expanded it considerably. I wish I could read Japanese so I could go deeper into his building process. The rosette he did for a Baroque guitar reproduction is stunning.
