Thread Name: help with pipe fingering
Subject: help with pipe fingering
As Smallpiper knows (coz he`s helped me in the past), I have recently started to learn smallpipes. I`m managing a reasonable number of french tunes but was concerned to find that when a friend who plays GHP demonstrated something, that his fingering was completely diferent to mine. He siad something about my using tin whistle fingering (take a finger off in turn). Iwasn`t aware I was doing it, but it seems to work ok. Can anyone explain (Simply)what the difference is between GHP and "my" fingering and how it might work when I get my new single drone cornemuse (in G) ?
Thanks
Alex
