Double Bass Considering Orchestra String Choices-again!

On any set of strings, you're going to have less tension if the string length gets longer.

I think you're wrong with this statement.
A longer scale will lower the pitch so you need to increase the tension to bring the pitch up.
@DoubleMIDI will come up with its excel sheet and formulas.

I think the opposite is true actually. Longer string length usually equals more tension.

You’re right, I don’t know where my brain went.
