So I got her a set, chromatic in G (2 octaves). But have searched everywhere for an instruction leaflet, video, tutor book or someone with knowledge of how to play and learn. Any help please? Cheers |

02 Jan 03 - 11:46 AM (#857243) Subject: RE: European pan pipes From: Dave Bryant I'm a bit puzzled by "chromatic in G". Surely if they are CHROMATIC, they have all the sharps/flats in which case they can handle any key. If on the other hand they can only manage G-A-B-C-D-E-F#-G they are DIATONIC in the key of G. The only other arangement would be if the accidentals were in a separate row or something. |

That is to say whilst they can play in any key, their natural key is G (Could be first note-biggest tube!!!) as (I have found out from the site kevin sent me to) it seems most Romanian pan pipe music is in the key of G, though I now believe yoy can get them in the key of C as there is a piece of music wriitten especiallly for it! Anyway that's whot I'm told. They does have sharps/flats etc. Byeeeeee 4 now |
