A stupid beginner's question (I'm still waiting for my HG, so I've never played on one myself)...
I know you can adjust the sensitivity of the chien by turning that peg on the tailpiece... But, can you "turn off" the buzzing completely - I mean, is there a position of that adjusting peg in which you just hear the drone sound of the trompette without the "danger" of a buzz coming? I ask that because some tunes do not use the buzz, as most Galician tunes...
