    Default Online String Tension Calculator?

    Hi Folks,

    Anyone know of a good online string tension calculator that allows one to alter scale length, string material (metals and nylon) and string type (wound vs plain)? I loved the one D'Addario used to have, but it's gone . For my unconventional builds, it's really needed.

    Thanks,

    Bob
