Ed, barbershopper pitch pipe in "F" (11) RE: pitch pipe in 18 Mar 99


Most men's a capella choruses and quartets use F to F pitch pipes to tune up. Yes, your pipe has EVERY available note on it! You may have to adjust your voice down an octave but that's not difficult! Women usually use C to C pipes for their higher voices. Although both pipes have all notes on them, more men's songs are tuned in the C down to F range, or down an octave from notes above C. The women's voices range down from D to C, hence the more common use of a C to C pipe. BUT either one WILL work!!!
