Cello Equal Tension Gauge Chart
This table shows the tensions that result from equal tensioned gauges available for the cello. The string length is assumed to be about 68cm and the pitch standard is assumed to be a=415. If the string length on your instrument is a little longer, then the tension will be a little more. If the string length on your instrument is a little shorter, then the tension will be a little less.
