Playing in Other Keys Without Retuning
If you are playing with another instrument, which is in a different key from
your instrument, and you don't retune, you will be able to find some notes
that work -- or, if you are lucky, you will find just a few tines that don't
work.
When you find the ones that don't work, put a piece of sticky
pad paper on those tines to remind you "don't play me."
If that sounds too childish for you, do it in your mind:
imagine you put some sticky pad paper on the "out of key" tines
to remind you not to play them.
