Hello John That is the extreme but it happens fairly regularly and if people have signed up for a day's workshop (or longer) and have travelled some distance that's the way I deal with it. It has to be said that I do prefer the higher pitch sound personally and so have 3 "F" chanters myself to cater for various circumstances. This is not an option for many punters, hence my pragmatic (some would say draconian) approach. Cheers Anthony --- On Sat, 8/1/11, gibbonssoi...@aol.com <gibbonssoi...@aol.com> wrote:
