tuerca más alejada
Lo primero que pensé es que podía ser el nombre de un modelo (suelen ser bastante imaginativos con eso) pero después busqué fotos de "far nut" y encontré el texto siguiente. El contexto es más claro que en tu caso y decididamente marca que se trata de "la tuerca más alejada" o "tuerca extrema". Cuestión de estilo.
The most unusual aspect of this harpsichord is that it has two nuts on the wrestplank. The nut nearest to the player serves the right-hand choir of strings and is slightly higher than the nut further from the player which carries the left-hand choir of strings. The two nuts are very close together in the treble and indeed one of them is partly sliced away in order that the two can be separated by the correct amount. Further down in the bass the two nuts gradually diverge until, at the lowest note, there are several centimetres separating them. The near, higher nut has scallops cut out of it to allow the strings of the far nut to pass by unimpeded to their tuning pins. The tuning pins are not arranged as normal, but are widely separated and the rear row of pins tunes the left-hand (what would normally be the long) choir of strings. The strings therefore diverge from the nut towards the tuning pins instead of remaining parallel as is more usual.[32]
