Definitely a beginner here. Started 6 years ago, but technically only got my hands on a real set 5 months ago, so count me in!

Yes...the ever-present pitch creep (from too much hole dremeling) is something I'm very familiar with. Tuning my old tenor drum to band pitch was a nightmare. Thanks for the info!

Hokay, so my understanding is that GHB's play in Bb Mixolydian, a single scale, with an addition b7 below the root as their lowest tone. HOWEVER. I'm arranging some music for an upcoming church event, and the irish instruments I'm working with, including my own, are posing me no issues. It's when I ...
