happens every now and then - the stringbed will basically be just a tad softer since there can be more deflection. nothing really to worry about in regard to tensions on the frame.

nothing to be sorry about!!! i basically chose the mcs as my go-to cross due to it's softness and in my opinion rather neutral behaviour. as far as i remember, out of the few cross-strings...
