Does the composer know what a HG is? I wonder... Yeah, there are capos for the drones that would enable such changes, and I have seen one of them weird gurdies with a third row of keys for some harmony, but those are few and far between...
A major? Wouldn't that suit a tekero more than a French gurdy with default stringing?
