I didn't vote yet because while I like the idea of a scalloped chanter allowing my fingers to fall into place easier, I've never tried such a chanter out yet, so I don't know if my vote would be worth anything ...

I wonder if people are tieing the mainstock/fittings in slighty different postions ? I am going to tie into a new bag soon and my present setup has the bellows fitting tied ...
