Tunes that use the footjoint keys
Tunes that use the footjoint keys
In response to another thread and out of interest lately what are some nice tunes using the footjoint keys:
I think this type of thread has been done but let's do it again
Here is a nice one I'm working on from this website: http://www.reavy.us/Reavycom.abc

Re: Tunes that use the footjoint keys
I don't play flute anymore, but when I did I liked to use the low C# key for a gracenote on bottom D on the tune Bunker Hill, on that bottom D near the beginning of the tune that fiddlers usually "scoop" up to:
cA | GE3~ (C#)D4 |
It gave a fair approximation of the effect that the fiddlers got.
It's one of the things I miss on the Low D whistle.
Another Low C# tune was that Kevin Burke jig in A Major that began
| E3~ EC#E | EF#A A...
cA | GE3~ (C#)D4 |

Re: Tunes that use the footjoint keys
Fisherman's Island is another nice Ed Reavy tune that goes down to C#.
Music in the Glen: sometimes I play the CB in the A part up an octave, sometimes I stay low on the C and just go high on the B (all the while wishing these things had a B foot joint). But jumping an octave on just the one note is a little jarring to me, somehow.

Re: Tunes that use the footjoint keys
Does anyone know anything about the tune Chris Norman plays called "The Iron Ring"? He uses the foot joint keys in it. Anyone know where a recording is available? See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVl-0VkrbHc

Re: Tunes that use the footjoint keys
The Jug of Punch is a good one for using the foot keys and also gives a workout on the long F key.
