Cross-fingered Gsharp

I know this has been asked before, but it seemed easier to ask again than spend hours sifting through hundreds of posts.

I don't have a fully-keyed chanter and I'm trying to learn a reel in Amajor. So how do I cross-finger that pesky G#?

Prrractice

It's a fierce tricky one without keys. Experiment with playing A off the knee with all the fingers down. Also try all finger combinations you can think of to get it as close as you can... might get something distantly resembling the G#.... but probably not. This and a combination of shading... I don't envy your task though.

Just glad now that I ordered a G sharp key on my next chanter!

That's the plan after I find my rich husband.

Setting the sights a little low, aren't we? When I find my rich husband I'll buy a couple of Taylor sets, perhaps a few Egans and maybe even a Coyne or two.

If you had the money, can you still get ahold of these sets???

When I find myself with a rich husband,
I'll for sure start wondering where I turned gay...

Hah. The fully keyed K&Q chanter is only in addition to the $50,000 dressage horse.

That's more like it.
