My apologies if you get this twice, but Google Groups seems to have spam canned it when I sent it in via email...
I have a three chanter instrument and after reading Simon's tuning description a few days ago I have decided I want to try the following chanter tuning: G (below middle C) g (above middle c) d' (one octave above middle C) I currently have the first two strings (my current tuning is G g g, all in gut), so I really only need to change one string. So the first question I have is for any recommendations for what might be good as that high D. I'd like a relatively inexpensive string to try this tuning out on before I invest too much in the tuning. My second question is for recommendations for what would work as a good lower chanter. I've been using a gut string provided by Balázs Nagy, but I find it a little "soft" for my taste and would prefer something a bit higher tension to get a crisper response and less bending (I don't mind some bendability, but this is just a bit much for my taste). I still want the lower chanter sound (I love having the almost trombone-like quality it gives). So any suggestions on these two items? -Arle -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
