Hello Dave
Thanks for the copy of Mad Moll.
It looks like a/the precursor of Peacock Followed The Hen to me but
Matt would know better.
As for modal A tunes on my Primitives, I sometimes move the sliding
parts so that the two smallest ends go on the drones below and the big
G end goes on little g. This gives me a pair of drones e & A but the
pipes don't sing as well like that, so although it's possible I rarely
do it. It can be fun though and I might give it a whirl sometime soon.
I'll keep you posted off list.
Cheers
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
Would it be a possibility for you to play the 1697/8 Playford Mad Moll
on your primitive set? If you could get a drone pair to G & C (assuming
it's G setup) Mad moll is in Am and has no Fnats in it.
I have attached a scan for you -- I know the NSP site will strip it off
--- if anyone wants a copy let me know and I will check with Barry/Tim
to get it on site somewhere
best
