It works for all of F, F+, F# and D nsp, the way I've been taught. The concert pitch G nsp needs a different (shorter) reed that crows to E. As Richard's already said, reeds of this design not good enough for nsp will frequently do well in ssp. And keyless nsp are less sensitive than their keyed counterparts. Very extended chanters are sometimes even fussier than standard nsp. Cheers Julia To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
