The advantage of this system is that you can play a song in E major (for example), while using the fingering of the C major scale (for example). This may come in handy when you are used to playing a given song in one key and suddenly need to play it in a different key. Let's look at an example: (4) The setting range is ­6~0~5 (where "0" means that no transposition is used). This can be calculated as follows: In what key do you want to play?(This is your "0" value. ) Example C major What key does the song use?Example E major How many semitones do you need to "shift" the notes?Example [C#, D, Eb, E]= 4 up, so register [7].

One reed is tuned slightly above, the other slightly below the correct pitch (and the third, if available, is tuned "properly").
