Measured and derived properties for a Thomastik Infeld Dominant G cello string mounted on rigid supports. Values of the tension T and the frequency f₀ were measured right after the first measurement session (Sect. 3.1). Three plucked-string signals were obtained by wire-breaking method after the measurement session to measure the bending stiffness B and the quality factor Q as a function of frequency (see Fig. 4).

Parameter	Value	Unit	Note
Tension T	116.1	N	Measured

Diameter d	1.15	mm	Measured
Frequency f0	97.86	Hz	Measured
Linear density μ	6.2	g/m	μ = T/(2Lf0)2
