I've always treasured this list in particular as a source of excellent technical advice - so here is a technical question.
My instrument is currently tuned G/C with the two chanters tuned to the typical g’. Since one of the chanters broke, I’ve been thinking of replacing it with a string that would sound an octave below the g’ to get a richer sound. so far the viola string I purchased is too large to fit in the tailpiece, and I am reluctant to enlarge the hole without further discussion of the topic - so, what do you all think? Is this a reasonable modification, are there good strings I should be considering, are there better ways to get a lower sound (like a different tuning entirely)?
