Does anyone know where I can find a fingering chart for a 9-hole xiao? I've seen them mentioned in several places, and the online store carrotmusic.com sells 9-hole versions of most of their models. They have fingering charts posted for the 6-hole and 8-hole xiao, but not for the 9-hole version. I asked one of the musicians who works at the store if he could send me a copy, but he hasn't responded.
I assume that the main point of the extra hole is to provide easier fingerings for one or more pitches of a chromatic scale, but I wonder if it also provides alternate fingerings for any pitches (especially high ones) which make them speak more easily. I'd also like to know if there are any disadvantages of the 9-hole instrument, other than having to keep the extra hole covered for most notes. Does anyone here have any experience with one of these instruments?
Thanks in advance for any information any of you might have.
