[HG] Irish?

[Anthony Shostak]

Hi, folks.

I'm sure this has come up before, but I'm wondering what your collective 
wisdom is regarding G/C or D/G for playing Irish and related tunes?  It 
seems straightforward enough to play out of G/C, using the upper rows of 
keys and capos for the drones, but with much of the repertoire fitting 
well on pipes and flutes that don't go lower than D, perhaps D/G would 
wind up being a bit easier and fit within the range of the instrument 
without too much octave shifting.  Or is it really just a matter of 
making a choice and sticking with it?

Best,

Anthony
