Lauraine, since no one else has come forward on this one(a bit of a poser) there might be a back door approach to this enigma. I've seen Piano tuning software out there on the internet. This got me wondering why one couldn't use something like that, or tuning forks and do it in reverse. Play the song and find the key on the tuning fork, or the p.c. software. Would think tuning forks would work best as one could find the key rather quickly while the song was playing. Can something like this be rented for a couple of hours or so?Have no idea how expensive a route this would be, or if it's even practical, but seems like it should work. Probably expensive to purchase a set, which would make the software more attractive. Dunno, just brainstorming.
take care,
George
Another possibility just popped in. One might be able to use Keyrite, and one's ear to do this. Play a song with a known key on a cassette or CD player. While it's playing, play the unknown one in Keyrite and keep changing keys until it sounds quite close to the know song. Bet a professional musician such as yourself wouldn't be very far off
