Vibrato/ Trill Chanter Fingerings

[pancelticpiper]

As far as vibrato fingerings go, there are so many possibilities (sometimes a half-dozen different ways to do it on one particular note) that you would end up with a very large catalogue rather than a "fingering chart" per se.

So much of it is what works or doesn't work with a particular chanter, and what your personal tastes are.

Learn the basic approaches and then try all the various possibilities on each note on your particular chanter, to come up with your personal "chart".

The approaches break down into two basic ways 1) completely opening and closing one or more holes further down the chanter 2) "shading" or partially closing one or more holes further down the chanter. Try both, using every different fingering you can think of, both on the leg and off the leg, for each note in each octave.

i've seen keenan shake the hell out of the chanter on second octave 'e' - i don't know what it's called, i wonder if it counts as vibrato
