Also is it not the case that when Highland pipers (including these

That is indeed the case, and the first part of my talk related to the
1980s revival of the instrument, and the serious quest, spearheaded by
Gordon Mooney, for an appropriate repertoire. Those of us who have been
involved since then know what has happened since. By the time the Dixon
music became available it was already too late, so it remains a
curiosity - which is OK by me, you wouldn't want just anyone playing
it, would you?
