Don't quote me, but I don't really think there's a particular note for the bata. Keep in mind that fundamentos are not mass produced. Each set is naturally going to sound different. Daniel Alfonzo talks about this in the Matanzas DVD. Also, they're not mechanically tuned, which makes it a whole other headache to get an exact tuning.
I say just get the chas in a good spot without being too high, and get the enus for the oconcolo and segundo to resonate. Keep in mind how much the tuning on the heads affect one another.
The caja is a whole other animal. Still working on that one.
