... the transpose button on my kn6000 ...I know my board is old, and may be considered 'passe' by some, but it has some great features, including the 'Transpose' button ...
Today I played a Christmas party at an self/assisted living Senior housing site ... Having battled with a cold and a 'croupy' cough all week, I KNEW I wasn't going to be able to hit some of the high notes ... All I had to do was hit the 'Transpose' button once for each 1/2 step I wanted to bring the song down ...
Worked like a charm and no one was the wiser ...
PS... also another advantage of being a OMB ... imagine if I were playing with a horn player and playing tunes in the key of B or F# ???
