| Extended Finger Chart First Octave A#-Bb
| |||||
Number 22 Bb keyed
|  | X | XXKO | XXXX | X This note is obtained by playing a A note plus the G# and Bb keys on the back of the chanter. It is one of the important keyed notes on the chanter as it is used, together with the F sharp key, when playing in the key of G minor. You will note that the design of the keys allows you to slide between G# and Bb at the same time opening or closing the G note holes. You can swell the note by lifting off the knee. Vibrato can be obtained by use of the lower fingers. Tuning |
| Number 23 Bb half holed
|
 |
X | XXDO | XXXX | X Not very clear on diagram but the B finger hole is only half covered. I achieve this by rolling my finger towards the top of the chanter and stopping when I hit the pitch. Tuning dependant on players skill. |

This is a handy approximation to a Bb when coming down from notes above especially in quicker music. Try B Bb B instead of a b roll. Tuning 40 cents sharp |
