I did a Bluthner 6'3" a while back and the "fourth string" diameters for the section that is tuned an octave higher starting at note #47 are:
47-52, .031";
53-58, .030"
59-65, .029"
66-71, .026"
Note #72 to the end do use the same guage as the note they accompany.

Any chance other interested parties could get a copy, too? It just
seems strange that you would publicly post that you will send someone
the information privately....
I for one have to do with Blüthners now and then and am very grateful
for any information to add to my collection...
thanks...
