Without moving bridges and changing speaking lengths, about all you can do with plain wire is determine tension ranges with wire gage. Inharmonicity will be what you get. By far the most control and improvement in rescaling happens in the bass, which in this case is already nailed down to whatever the existing bass strings give you. Ron N
