Greetings,
 
I was reviewing a HG plan set which has 12 sympathetic strings (not one of ours). This instrument has 4 chanters in c, g, d', and g'.
It recommends tuning the sympathetics to:
 
e ------ 131 hz       G ---------- 98 hz
g ------ 196            d ---------- 147
b flat - 233            g ---------- 196
c' ------ 262            a ---------- 220
d' -------294            d' --------- 294
e flat --156            b' --------- 466
 
Does this seem good to you who have been into this longer than I?
How about a Tenor instrument with 8 sympathetics with the same chanter tuning?
 
Thanks
Mel

this is just about what I use, ecept the that I use a c instead of the e.
