I suppose you are talking about sympathetic string setup. There are probably actual pins on the butt end and Steel pin tuners on the head end. Lighter steel strings should run the length of the instrument and ring off of the soundboard (sympathetic vibration). It's a nice effect. I would have to check D&H for the exact strings, but I remember "Guitar B". If this is not what you are asking about, then I haven't a clue. If it is then the pegs are probably opposite the player and run well clear of the wheel. > > also blackone (who coud be called ,,( star treck gurdy lol) have > 10 keys > ,,, is it because this gurdy have more drones ,,, ? better sound > with more > strings ? I have seen as many as 4 chanters ( a G pair and a D pair. and corresponding drones and mouches/trompettes. Mine only has 8: 3 chanters, 2 drones, 2 trompettes and a mouche. I don't like the mouche sound and mostly keep it strung up to keep my shoulder strap off the trompettes. Your gurdy may vary... but more problem to tune i assume .. See there, you're getting smarter already! Roy
