Here’s what I would do. For instance your first tune is Eb. So I found the abc for it. I used a abc transposer to take it to D but there were some low notes so instead I put it into G.

Recently found a nice Scottish Recording called Nimble Fingers with Alex, Gordon Duncan and others.
I really like his whistle version of Our Highland Queen on this recording.

But it really is nice to see money go to them for the great work they are doing ?

Flat chanters generally don’t have a clear Eb like the large holed concerts. That’s why you see a key for that note on some of them but Rowsome left if off his four keyed chanters. The ghost d is essentially what I get on my flat chanter. On a concert chanter it’s a difference of pressure I think. h...
