Huh?

Suppose the tubing is made of gum rubber.  I stuff it with a
tight-fitting rod of steel.  Doesn't it become stiffer?

Instead, suppose I plug each end and then fill the tube with something
under pressure, doesn't it become stiffer also?  (V14gra effect,
so to speak).

When a piano string is tightened, does it require more force to deflect it?
