Yes, un-modified is what I meant.

I don't think it'd be much fun either; it seems like they might not even be functional with steel strings, but I'm not really sure. Might be interesting and more tolerable on some kind of small chamber instrument with gut strings I guess.


No particular reason to not use gears though, other than just because
