New sets:
Balanced piccolo sets for any number of strings from as light as .045 .031 .020 .014 .010
I counted 41 different sets of gauges for 4 string balanced sets alone ... amazing.
New tension chart is up:
http://circlekstrings.com/CKSIMAGES/CircleKtensionChart.pdf
The tension chart is for a 34" scale, to calculate tension for scales other than 34", multiply the tension value by (your scale in inches / 34) squared.
The tension values are divided into diagonal regions, each diagonal region corresponds to a particular octave. Starting from the small triangular region in the bottom right corner and working upwards, the octave numbers are: 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
