Default Re: Somewhere Duet

Hi folks,

Jane and Ralph, thanks so much for your exchange here. I myself didn't realize that the different recorders (being in different keys) simply used different fingerings rather than transposing for a single fingering style.

I play whistles, and I learned fingering in key of D (or G), and so whenever I've used Ralph's (or anyone else's) scores, I always transpose the part I want to play for whistle to fit my learned fingering. Ergo, I never had a second thought about how Ralph was doing it (I also have no idea if that's "the way it's done" or if I just presumed - most whistle music is in D or G, and a little C.)

Anyway, I've learned something new, and that's always good

Thanks!
Sherry
