All steel pipe, eventhough heavier, should theorically be better because resonanse waves more perfect...don't they???

Hey AFM. Why not ?
In the past, many years ago we have tryed to make pipes out of different materials-Hardened Al alloys (similar to 7075 T6), Steel, Titanium, Nikel ( billet made on lathe-took long hours to make one) etc and found no difference. I personaly know only one part of hobby where it is required to use pipe from steel or Ti-it is tether cars-AL pipes bending there due to the very high centrfugal forces.
Our friquency is very low for materials make significant difference in performance
