How Can I get my daughter to play Star of the County down with the correct key? We play "Canticle of the Turning " in our church that is the same song as star of the county down and guitar players here cannot reate to al pennywhistle ,when we tell her the key og "G" she gets her "G" penny whistle. and this does not sound correct. te guitar players are confused and avoid my daughter. it is discouraging and hurtful she has no desire to play anymore She can play the song very good but we need to be educated on selecting the correct pennywhistle to play the song in "G". Please advise Thanks Alvin
