Hi! I made the enclosed table to help me decide which set of strings
to buy next. Tension is expressed in kilograms.

This table taught me the adjectives used by the manufacturers are best
ignored. And yes, I double-checked: D'Addario XTC "extra hard" are
slightly lower-tension than D'Addario XTC "hard"!

The source spreadsheet is in sc format: if you want it, just ask.

-----
Labeled as: Light Medium Mid-Hard Hard XtraHard
or: Normal Superior
