Improv On Wheatstone 5

After adding a low F to the Wheatstone 5 treble and a new pair of thumb straps. It's here:

Very nice Mike, I enjoyed that. I imagine you re-tuned the G# down to F or did you actually replace the reeds? You must have stuck that F in somewhere.

 

As an aside, you seem to be shy about showing you face in your videos, you're not that ugly, going on your profile photo.

I prefer to make the Ab on the left end into a low F. I won't go into all the reasons for that, but the low F is a ledger line note, and that's a left-hand note on an English. I'm sure others have their own strategy. I weight the tip of the Ab with a bit of brass and use super glue, which I can remove with acetone if need be. The camera framing is meant to focus in on the hands and keep me within reading distance of the sheet music.
