Matt has argued an octave pair of drones tuned Gg will work for The Peacock/Mad Moll and other harmonically similar tunes like Cuckold - you want to show up the contrast between the Am and Cmaj in the first and second strain respectively. That is what Peacock probably had to do with his version, as I think bead holes weren't invented yet.

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 Dave S On 7/29/2011 11:16 AM, Anthony Robb wrote: > Hello all > I've been reluctant to vote on this since our house is fighting back > whilst we put in a new kitchen, downstairs loo and new wee studio. > There is building dust everywhere and my pipes, mics and other gear are > packed away for the duration. > Even though I can't contribute musically I would go for Peacock. > Perhaps most will be familiar with the snippet: > > Aal the neet ower and ower > And aal the neet ower agyen > Aal the net ower and ower > The peacock followed the hen > > The cock's a dainty dish > The hen's aal hollow within > There's nee deceit in a puddin' > An' pie's a dainty thing > > I also think of (but no idea why or where it comes from) > > Won't ye come cuddle me cuddy > Now won't ye come cuddle me reet > Won't you come cuddle me cuddy > Just as ye did yesterday neet > > That's about all I can offer on TOTM but I also thought some might be > interested to know that I have put my chanter where my mouth is so to > speak and had a very happy > off-the-cuff couple of days putting down 16 tracks (4 of them double > tracked) on my keyless pipes (The Primitives as maker Bill Hedworth > called them).
