Hi all,
not because of any logic that I can think of but rather because of
tradition or custom amongst Spanish luthiers, the octave chanter/voix
humane seems to end up on what would be the trompette (facing the
player) side.
cheers,

I am not sure if there is a reason today. Although as a note,

some earlier instruments that have a main bridge that is heavier

It is not
all that common but it does appear on the instruments from time
to time.
Hi Scott
I just wondered if the increased sting-to-wheel pressure inflicted
on the
furthest
string at the dusty end of the box was kinder, soundwise, on the
heavy or
lighter strings?
Which string is usually in which position? Why? A matter of choice
or chance?
Regards, Tony
