Yes, when I got my Chinook last October, I had a similar experience. I saw very quickly that the cranking adapts to the tune, not the other way around.
Congrats and enjoy! They're great instruments, aren't they?

Man it was worth the wait! Right out of the shipping crate was my soft case(very impresses of its make) and in it was my new HG. Once I got the crank on, and listened to each string, I knew it was a she, not a he. I got thebdrones working, and kim a hynoptic state, I was listening to the sweet SARS sound of the drones only. I had the sudden urge to drive out to 29 Palms, and listen to the rual winds and play the drones only, heck I might do that soon anyways. But what I found unique as a new player on this type of instrument, the crank and wheel "tells you tv speed to play t", it was quite amazing! Has anyone had this expeience before? ][=+>Sent from my iPhone<+=][
