[NSP] Re: Has there ever been an NSP with _all_ keys (no open holes)?

2011-03-23 Thread barlowsmallpi...@tiscali.co.uk
Hello All

I've got a drawing from a local (Forest Hall) inventor with an 
arrangement of keys operated by the fingers which cover the open holes - at the 
same time. He doesn't play, make or own a set so I've no idea why he picked up 
on the idea that the NSP Chanter might need modification. 

Haven't found the 
time to try out his arrangement yet, chances are I might be too busy for a 
while.

Regards,

Nigel.

Hi all

Just to add my two 'penneth. I use French Polish from Screwfix (bigger 
bottles than B&Q). I use it straight from the bottle (well mixed) for ferrules 
and I have some which has slightly evaporated and therefore thicker in a small 
jar for key-pads.

Incidently, you can also get 'Blonde' French Polish which 
migh suit lighter woods.

Don't think I would like to try and un-stick ferrules 
glued on with UHU!

Regards,

Nigel.
