New Chromatic Fingering Chart added to the Site

Hi Everybody,

After far too much thinking, I have added a revised fingering chart for my 10 hole Chromatic system instruments to the site.  It may be a bit confusing but it's the best I could come up with, any suggestions for future editions of it are welcome.  You will see this "For a 10 hole fingering chart, see this link;  http://www.skiphealy.com/chart/" in all sections pertaining to 10 hole instruments.  I hope it helps!!

Built just like our solid, six-hole fife, the ten-hole fife allows you to play in a full, accurate chromatic range without half-holing or cross-fingering. The Healy ten-hole fife is extremely popular for all forms of fife music but its tonal range truly shines in solo or ensemble work.
