Kitty has 4 Chanters, 2 G, 2 D a set of Basses for G and a set for D, both
with capos. The Trompete is also capo-ed. It was slightly late at night and I
was a bit tired when I wrote the words "double instrument" I could have worded
it a bit more carefully. Having the instrument set up like that means I can
play relatively easily in any key. If I had had an instrument like this when I
was younger it would have been wonderful, now racing into galloping old age my
hands are a serious liability. Nowadays I can only manage an hour or so every
day to practice or the fingers end up looking like sausages. "Kitty" is so
named as there a few of them inlaid into the body and a feline head where a
human likeness usually is. JON
