I picked up the Blair digital chanter on my trip round Australia last year. What a superbly built machine!
However I cannot figure out these !@#$ settings for grace notes. I cannot get my D grace note to sound at all, unless I lift my finger higher and hold it longer that I usually would. For me this makes it a frustrating experience. ![]() I have tried +ing and -ing the setting but it is not helping. On my DegerPipes there is no problem with getting a clear sounding D grace note. Maybe it's a optical versus contact capacitance thing. Please would someone relate to me how you have gone about tuning the settings to your playing. I seem to be at a loss for how to proceed. Thanks very much. tomm

If you look up previous threads about the chanter, I posted about what I did to get the sensors about right. It is a bit of a frustrating process, for sure. I'm not convinced this type of sensor is the ultimate solution, tbh.

Thanks Tom. Yes, those three tests are what I was referring to - if you can get those working you should have an instrument that responds relatively realistically.
As pipers we don't sometimes appreciate just how responsive a reeded instrument is to our fingering compared to many instruments. It's only noticeable when we play something similar, but different... |
