Now and then I see references to "alto" hurdy-gurdy. What
determines the nominal voice of the instrument? My own HG has chanter at
438mm, drones at 457mm; chanter tuned to d above middle c, but keyed in G
("white keys" are d (open) e f# g a b c etc.). Simple drones (no buzzies)
are g, D, G. Does this configuration have a voice label??
Thanks & regards,
Leonard Williams
