If it is any help, keep in mind that it isn't actually necessary to produce the notes as harmonics--

Homeless, after reading your post a couple times, I think see where you're going--you don't need frets where the harmonics sound, they will sound when you touch the string--it is possible to bow a string so the the harmonics sound in this way--(it takes a while to learn to produce clean sounds, though)

'Spaw, I came up with this idea after about the twentieth time though Hindemith's explanation of how he derived all of the 12 pitches from either harmonic overtones of C 64 or from harmonics of the first Six harmonics--

When he began to explain the problems with using the harmonics above the sixth, I began to think about how peculiar it was that this "scale" just sort of appeared in the fifth octave of the harmonic series, even though the pitches were off from what they needed to be, and that with each succeeding octave, there were enough notes for a chromatic scale and a quarter-tone like scale--

It then occurred to me that given that the pitches have a harmonic relationship., they ought to sound like something--the question is, what?

Before we get to far into this (although it may be too late, already) I have to say that as peculiarly appealing as this may seem, I have a number of other, much closer to mainstream, musical projects that are higher priority--

That means that, at least for now, this project is strictly theoretical--

The only thing is, especially at 1:30 in the morning, the idea that "There is something out there" is strangely appealing--

Bruce--I have fooled around a bit with the modes and intonations that you've got, but my main synthesizer isn't set up yet, and the MIDI voices in my computer aren't very satisfactory--
