1. The speaking lengths of every note in the covered sections and of 
the first four plain steel notes.

2.  The core diameter and overall diameter of the first and last 
string in each section (singles, bichords, covered trichords) and the 
gauge number of the first four plain wire notes.

3.  What seems to be unsatisfactory about the original scale and what 
you hope for.
