    and was wondering about guitar strings with variable thickness along its length. Could you have interesting harmonics with a well designed string.

    Would you get a nice sound or just a dull metallic twang with no sustain?

    Plus also, can someone kindly tell me what mu naught stands for in the equation on the aforementioned webpage.

    This is being experimented with in the piano!!

    Some really cool stuff. I'm extremely intrigued at what it would sound like on a guitar.
