Is there any good reason why a high or low octave chanter should be
be in a specific position in the box? (either nearest you or
further away?)
Do low octave strings handle increased wheel pressure better than
higher ones?
on my last instrument I had the thickest string on the tromptte
side : the setup was made so that the bowing area moved towards the
bridge because the string was pushed and lifted partially from the
wheel when the key was pushed. Playing higher notes the string had
lesser pressure and the bowing area moved, as it does with normal
bowed instruments: the bowing point moves bridgewards to keep the
harmonics in balance.
On my actual instrument the setup is the other way round: this is
because of the position of the soundpost and bracing. So it couldn't
be simply turned around, its fixed by the construction.
kind regards,
Simon
