Re: bellows with hinge
David Quinn would be the man to take on this subject in earnest. He wrote a wonderful dissertation on bellows for Iris an bPiobaire The Pipers' Review a few years back http://www.irishpipersclub.org/ and may be archived in the "other" forum. I'll have a rummage around and see if I can find it there.
Here are the best photos I can find of a view of the actual hinge of a Taylor bellows:

Re: bellows with hinge
That's a "Tayloresque" set, not actually Taylor construction, despite what that page says. See its owner's thoughts on the matter here.

Good catch - I guess you can't believe everything you see on the Internet

Re: bellows with hinge
I really like the "alternative" wood and leather hinge. It looks like a relatively easy conversion if you wanted to get away from the leather strap hinge. Hmmmm, the wheels are turning!

Re: bellows with hinge
That's the method I have on my Benson bellows that I mentioned earlier. What I like about it is that you can easily adjust the tension.
