Hi Pat,
I don't know how the others are set up, maybe Jack will ring in and tell
us, but this one was from C-1 #16 to C-6 #76, with an octave (or so) off of
each end. The bass/tenor break would have to be determined by the tension
and inharmonicity in the speaking lengths of the lowest plain wire unisons,
and would tend to be in about the same place in the scale regardless of
where the low bass and high treble ended. The fact that it tuned pretty
well indicates to me that the scaling was in the ballpark.
