[NSP] Re: D chanter on AU ebay
Well I'm glad someone else was wondering. I thought I might just be being stupid again. The top end looked fairly standard to me with what was clearly an Fnat key. It would be nice to know what the other two were.

This is a bit confusing as the key in the Fnat position is Eb on an F chanter. So, using nominal pitches the keys would be Fnat, a, c (little finger) and b, d thumb? Indeed an odd selection. I have a nominal top c on my F chanter, but it hardly ever gets used and I frankly wish I hadn't bothered. I'm glad the maker at least dissuaded me from getting a top Bb.

I compared the fourth and fifth pictures. 4th: the hole for the key on the back is in the centre of the key block (Cnat) 5th: the top hole on the front is at the top of the key block (C#) For a D chanter it makes more sense to extend up - it doesn't get squeaky like on an F or G. I guess the reeding won't be as critical. R Quoting christopher.bi...@ec.europa.eu: This is a bit confusing as the key in the Fnat position is Eb on an F chanter.

Maybe a confused description - could Colin clarify this? But there are a lot of keys at the top end.

Sorry, meant to add it was sold on Friday 25th March (hence the attempt at a joke) for 950 AU. Still like to know if those notes were right or if it was a special though.

It's a D chanter and therefore longer than the F - there is more room to fit keys in at the top. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
