The R in:      w = C/Wire length x sqrt(l/R)
is the radius (R) of the capacitor, not the radius of the coil. The
(l) is the length of the inductor. Sorry about the confusion!

It may well be true that the harmonics will resonate best at
frequencies slightly different then predicted. (although they will
also resonate at the predicted frequency) This is usually the case
with mechanical resonance as well. Not so much a flaw with theory,
just far to complicated to include the stiffness and stretch of rope
in the equations.

We have yet to design a system that does not work directly from the
equations, they are a very powerful design tool.
