Hello Matt
Yep, it's a 7 key chanter so no F nats.
Also, it's a song and all of the singers I have backed (OK, there have
only been 3 in 40 years!) prefer that key.
And finally, as an instrumental it makes a loamishly
lovely springboard to dive into P B's P.
Cheers
Anthony

happy compromise between fingered B and bottom E. To keep in
acceptable tune with these drones I find I am playing at
454.
I
keep it all as relaxed as possible and "Bonny at Morn",
"Peter
Bailey's Pig" etc sound good to my ears.
Just curious - why play Bonny At Morn in Em? Would Am not fall more
readily under the fingers, or do people generally not have an Fnat
key?
