[NSP] Re: NSP duet with other instruments

[Matt Seattle]

   I play fiddle on a regular basis with Chris Ormston playing G NSPs,
   mainly for dances with Border Directors. We also play A Border pipes
   together. Before us, High Level Ranters, Joe Hutton and the Wills
   played NSP and fiddle, it's not at all unusual - Margaret and Andy
   Watchorn, K & P Tickell, the list must be a long one. Only time I
   played with a D set was with Dick Hensold - everything was in the
   'wrong' key on the fiddle - more so when playing fiddle with an F set,
   which I also do occasionally.

     I've been listening to a lot of UP flat set and fiddle duets, and
     playing my SSP in A a bit with a fiddler.  I'm smitten with the

     mix of low pipe and fiddle.  I think fiddle and NSP would go well
     together, but perhaps the NSP in D would produce a better match up
     with a fiddle than F or F# and the G chanter which can be, to my ear
     anyway, shrill.  Has anyone experimented with this sort of thing at
     all?
     thanks,

     fallen
     in the bagpipe wars?
