Tom; 1. Have you Called Mapes or Schaff? It is possible that they 'might' have the scale for at least the bass strings. 2. Is the Knabe a 85 note or 88 note instrument? As to the 23 gauge wire, possibly there were originally wound strings past the break. If so Mapes or Schaff could tell you, hopefully. Good Luck. JIM Bryant (FL)
