am i stupid or misunderstanding? If the tension in the string is constant, then a longer string will be lower than a short one. I play bass guitar, and i know that if you play an open string (no fingers on the frets) it will be lower than when my fingers are on the 5th fret, which is lower than the 10th fret. this is why those squealing guitar solos are played way up the neck by the body. shorter string = higher pitch.
