I don't normally play a gurdy in G/C tuning, and will be having a 3-chanter gurdy built that will play in both G/C and D/G. My question is, do G/C players prefer a trompette tuned to low G, or a trompette that switches between C and D via a capo system? I'm just wondering about that sound of the coups produced on that low G note as opposed to the somewhat higher C and D notes. Is it better, worse, or doesn't matter to players very much? I'd rather not have a second trompette installed to get the low G if there's no real advantage to it, but if it makes a distinctly better sounding coup, I'll consider it. Thoughts? Thanks in advance, Mitch Gordon Guerneville, California, US
