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
