A normal set. From 1-10, leading decimal point and first zero omitted due to silly smart keyboard not playing well with numbers: 12, 15, 11, 14, 18 (or 17), 22 (or 22W), 26, 30, 34, 38
The numbers in parentheses are also valid, just a matter of choice.

OR the Franklin set, 013, 015, 012, 015, 018, 020 plain, 026w, 030w,034w,038w.
I have used these gauges on my Emmons for a long time. They are a little heavier and sound thicker as well.
