Time of my life 🤣

I believe it…

Incidentally I found this more objective analysis of string doubling while Googling, which is really cool.

euphonics.org/7-3-multiple...

Could say much the same for "Type B" doubling (that is, the double of the string is nonidentical but tuned an octave higher) which say, contributes to the defining tonal profile of a 12-string guitar. Although this has a more noticeable "chorus" effect.

Type A doubling (that is, same pitch strings; like on ouds) is essential to the tonal character of the instrument[s]… with single strings it don't sound like an oud no more. Doubled strings are never exactly the same pitch and small variations add a lot of essential "texture"

Having played string instruments with doubled strings (ouds, 12-string guitars, etc.) I never felt - at least subjectively - that the doubling leads to notes that are perceivably "louder". [I wonder what a comparison of Fourier spectra amplitudes would look like.]

Thank you. The memory of the Golden Age of NMR Twitter gave me a will to fight again.
