I guess this is about the same as the Dutch 'ch' It is pronounced (more or less) as a 'g', unless is it is a coïncidence of stuc+hel, from two separate compounds of a word. In Dutch, ch is in both cases written as 2 letters.
In Spanish, this seems to be the same for LL and RR since 1992. Long ago.. Is there still something special about the c-h or c-h-combination?
