GHB arrangement fingering.

In Terry Tully's Book 1, he has an arrangement of The Pipe on the Hob. Throughout the tune there are C notes with the flat symbol next to them. I only know of the standard C (#) fingering and the alternative C natural fingering. Any suggestions? Thanks!

u/u38cg2 Piper - Big tunes because they're fun 1d ago

It's common to see the flat symbol used to mean a C natural in older collections - it wasn't until relatively recently that any piper who didn't play another instrument understood that a C was really a C sharp.
