Strings with Temperature

Post by saucedoj425 »

I´m working in a physics investigation related with the effect of the temperature in the guitar strings, I´ve read all the physic concepts about this topic but I really need help.
I want to know some ideas to improve this investigation.
And another thing that I really need is how I´m going to make the experiment? How can I control the Temperature, or how can I aply the temperature to the strings without affecting my own guitar.
Any ideas? :idea:

Hi saucedo425,

What is the temperature effect on guitar strings that you want to investigate?

If you don’t need a big change to observe the effect you might be able to adjust the thermostat at your house to get a couple of different temperatures. After changing the thermostat wait for a while to allow the guitar to equilibrate to the new temperature setting. Then make your measurements.

I hope this helps. Please post again if you have more questions.
