I am trying to produce a Gauge and string schedule for a 16ft choir on a Neale H'chord which I am working on. The strings were Brass for the bottom two 8ves (none were covered like in the 2 manual Goble at Glyndebourne) and steel thereafter. The length of the strings for the bottom 8ve. are:
FF - 2135mm
FF# - 2128mm
GG - 2120mm
GG# - 2110mm
AA - 2100mm
AA# - 2087mm
BB - 2072mm
C - 2058mm
C# - 2035mm
D - 2003mm
E - 1965mm
F - 1933mm
I can produce all lengths, of course, but this gives an indication of the size of the H'chord and is exploratory to find a response!
I have tried the internet - but can only find info charts on 8ft. and 4ft. choirs - no 16ft. choirs.
