I think that the main reason for having a " mouche " on modern made HG
really is to protect the " trompette " , since many players do not
use it much anymore <g>

The French cheesemaker's shirt is a brilliant pattern - I have made it
many times over the past 25 (yes, really) years in all sorts of
fabrics from fine poly/cotton to heavy calico, and it has worked every
time. I even made it much longer and used it as the basis for a
nightshirt pattern. I think I have worn one of the shirts whilst
playing gurdy and I don't remember having any problems with the
sleeves touching the trompette.
Folkwear patterns are really great. I'm about to make myself a Walking
Skirt (again, a pattern that I have made up on numerous occasions),
for a part in a play in which I am taking part in a few weeks time
(The Importance of Being Earnest).
