I went all the way up to pitch twice yesterday, and actually got it to hold long enough to play a simple tune.

If anyone wants to see this show and missed it, it’s now available in the archives.
Go to http://www.tg4.tv

After a brief buffering period, the program will load and start playing.
I’m playing it at about half speed at the moment, as I just put the two hands together (I can play the right at a pretty good clip by itself).
Just out of curiousity, does it look anything like this:
