In light of the fact that I've since found I could play the full hexad using
m10 and not s10, we should both be happy. Now, given that I want m4-m11 to
be a nice major third and s20-m11 to be a nice perfect fifth, what's the
fretting you're proposing? (We have at least 6 months to make the final
decision as Martin is pretty backed up with custom orders.)
