... if you're a pipeband player.
We're playing the "Mull of Kintyre" with a Paul McCartney tribute band who's playing with the symphony. Normally we've done okay with that. It's always been a great show. But this time we're playing with the symphony... and htey tune entirely differently from the way pipebands tune. Well not entirely, just SUPER FLATTER. If that's a word. After we practiced once with them and realized tha tit would be so much flatter in pitch we had to spend another 3 hours (maybe 4... unsure) retuning. We eventually had to get out our REAALLY old chanters to make sure that they could go that low. 472 -20 cents doesn't seem that low if you think about it... but unbelievably hard to get our new equipment to do.
Well we play in under 4 hours... practicing begins in 1.5... should be fun! I'll post pictures when i get 'em.
