Hi Anthony,
Don't miss the idea that one can clearly hear the beat note between
mis-tuned drones with the Saymulator. This does actually give a target,
and knowing that pressure controls all, in the real world, may well help
beginners to start to use their ears.
ciao

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
