Re: Rig tuning
You can calculate the tension from the frequency with the formula below The equation for the fundamental frequency of an ideal taut string is: f = (1/2L)√(T/μ) where f is the frequency in hertz (Hz) or cycles per second T is the string tension in gm-cm/s² L is the length of the string in centimeters...

Re: Rig tuning
I hadn't thought about it, but of course there are computer programs which analyze sound frequency. Here is a free one... http://www.relisoft.com/freeware/freq.html Assuming that it works all you would need is the length of your shroud and the weight per meter. Somebody coud make a neat iPad app tha...

Rig tuning
Has any one ever tried tuning a rig by measuring the frequency of the of the tone made when the rigging is plucked?
Here is the math explained...

a guitar tuner would measure the frequency, (I think).
