It seems then that this Simulator is very much of the moment, since all the
planes can do at the moment is taxi, (due to the antics of what the Mirror
has called the VILE-CANO, hyphenated in case their readers didn't get it!)
Maybe we could go for the more snappy title of Smallpipes
Chanteranddronessimulator

This is an intriguing idea but I can't help wondering whether simulator
might be too strong a claim? In 35 years of piping tuition, not only in
the UK but also Germany, NZ and USA, I've clocked up over 5000
tutee-hrs of experience and the first (also main and universal)
stumbling block with our instrument is keeping the bag well-filled and
maintaining a steady pressure.
A smallpipes simulator that does not have this as part of its make up
is a bit like having a flight simulator that only does the taxiing bit.
There may be plans to provide under-arm pressure sensitive pads to
simulate this main difficulty but until they are available perhaps a
more accurate description would be in order?
Cheers
Anthony
