Stylon Pilson Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Every time I need to set my intonation, I need to go online to remind myself that if the 12th fret is flat (relative to the open string), then I need to shorten the string, and not the other way round. Does anyone know any good tricks or mnemonics to make this easier to recall? S.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) If it's f[b][u]L[/u][/b]at then the string is too [b][u]L[/u][/b]ong. If it's [b][u]Sh[/u][/b]arp then the string is too [b][u]Sh[/u][/b]ort. Edited March 30, 2010 by EssentialTension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha-Dave Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I just remember this: f1 = ((T/(m/L))^0.5)/2L f1 = fundamental frequency T = String tension m = string mass L = string length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
