You mean VR 10 instead of 12, right?

It's like I don't have enough throw in the pots. The most logical approach
I see is that I would center all VRs 1, 3, 10, 11, & 15 - and then use vr15
to center C3. With these settings, C1 is way (+200 cents) sharp, and C6 is
way (-200 cents) flat. I can't swing tune high and low far enough apart to
get the complete range in tune.

What damage could be caused by adding resistance to the pots (high and low)
to get more swing out of them?
