So...
Can I (temporarily?) get this thread back on track and ask my original
question again?
There have been some promising replies coming - and Adrian began to develop
a useful thread which has now gone off into rarefied realms of temperament
and drones when playing in C major.
However ... If I make a "normal" 14-key chanter, designed around playing in
G and D, with just low B and C keys ARRANGED B-LEFT C-RIGHT plus a C# on the
right-hand side, BUT (and this seems to be a critical factor) without a low
A, am I going to produce a wierd one-off thing which will annoy future
players who may own it after the immediate client passes on, OR will I be
helping forward a more logical trend of pipe-making and playing?
(sorry about the catitals - I'm not shouting, just emphasising :-) )

I don't understand the reference to temperament here.
It may be irrelevant, Chris, I'm rather busy and have a lot going on in my
head. I
don't claim to have thoroughly thought through every word of my posting.
