The Extra Taut Antenna

Just wondering.
A tightly-drawn violin string goes up in acoustic pitch the tighter it is tuned.

What if a strong wire antenna is brought to an extreme degree of tautness? Does its resonant RF frequency increase?
Trouble is, even if it worked, it would not solve any problems for Part 15 medium wave.
But maybe, again depending on whether tautness has any affect, there’s a counter-method of tuning lower. A string bass has a thicker string that tends to be helical. We have talked about helical antennas. Maybe this concept brings a new way of viewing their potential.
