One of my mates had a really good idea the other day. Wot you do, if your accordion player is as loud as Sam Pirt,is, before he arrives, you hook all the whistles and other quite instruments up with pick ups and then when he arrives and starts playing, everyone else deafens him for a change. Just for a laugh of course. We have nothing against ur playing Sam. Just thought it'd make an amusing change.Only problem being that we wouldn't be able to get all the equipment into the Jug Inn. Worth a try anyway. Hehehehehehe

Other option is get a tuneable susato as many people have said. You may find that you need to saw a bit off though if you are interested in getting it perfectly in tune on thouse really high notes, like in Si bheg Si more. Very nice slow tune by the way that you can put lots of expression and feeling into. Try:

Kesh Jig Irish Washerwoman Rakes of Kildare Blackthorn Stick Jackson's Favourite Rose in the Heather Blarney Pilgrim (affectionately known as Barmey Piglet) Rakes of Mallow (or, erm Marshmallows!!) Drowsie Maggie Off She Goes Salley Gardeners Blaydon Races

Is that enough to be going on with.
