[NSP] flat chanter in the middle

2011-11-13 Thread Kevin
   Hi to All,
   Can anyone advice me on the tuning of my chanter to the drones. The top
   G and the bottom G are in tune with the drones but the middle notes
   especially the D is a fraction out of tune, a little flat. is this
   rectified by moving the reed, if so which way? or opening the reed or
   closing it?
   the chanter has been in tune in the past but since changing the reed i
   find these problems, it is either the top/bottom notes are out or the
   middle notes are outany advice?
   thanks
   kevin

Hi Kevin

Do you know what pitch you are tuning at. Is it the same as before?
Do you know what pressure you're playing at. Is it the same as before?

You could have a reed which naturally gives a flatter d .

My guess would be to open the reed a fraction and increase your playing 
pressure slightly.
If that works but the playing pressure is too high, get back to me. On 
list will be fine.

I make no guarantees.
YMMV.
