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.

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...
