Actually I have committed the cardinal sin of retuning back and forth between DG and GC for a few days without changing strings. Penny Cloud teaches gurdy at Lark Camp, and to get everyone in the class in the same tuning she settled on GC last year, which was the tuning I didn't have. On my DG I pitched my trompette down from D to C (no problem) and my low chanter from D up a fourth to G (which it didn't like, but tolerated), and left my high chanter unused on the hook at its normal pitch. I think I may have retuned back to DG for a couple of the sessions, and back to GC for the daily class. It got me through the week (after which I retuned everything to DG where it belonged), but it's definitely not something I would do often. Mea culpa...

Maybe I'll just have to throw spare change in a jar until I can afford a modern hg for whichever key M. Bassot (my current HG) doesn't end up being. I suspect he'll stay G/C.
