That's really cool, Dave. I have always been impressed with your experience with these kinds of (rather exotic) stringed instruments.

One thing has me puzzled, so I must be missing something. If the neck is made longer, that would seem to imply a lower frequency. But you indicated it would optimize for a higher note. I'm guessing the strings you prefer must be thicker and heavier, or you must tighten them less. Is that the case, or what am I missing?
