   For me she is rather special because her ego is in inverse cubic
   proportion to her talent.

What a refreshing change!

Are we talking about E maj on an F 
chanter or  a G 
chanter.


Assuming that we're talking about nominal rather than absolute pitches, this 
wouldn't make any difference, would it?

   Busy with real music so briefly:
   Tim  Adrian:
   Tune in E maj on G chanter - the A part has about 78 notes and 62 of
   them are played on the right thumb so even electronic pipes don't help
   unless of course you cheat by electronically transposing.
   Barry: Tradition is wonderful but not if it insists on flat Bs etc! I
   thought at the time your fruit analogy was flawed (perishables compared
   with reasonably stable entities - not a good idea). Just as Reid pipes
   need tweaking to make them sweet to modern ears so too with the Cox -
   Bryan spacings.
   Dukes -paid hundreds of pounds in pipers wages to keep them in the
   popular domain this included a Tyneside Reid in the mid 19th century.
   I'm sure you will be able to discover more should you wish to delve.

   Hello folks
   There may be one or two apart from Adrian interested in the Alice
   person.
   Here she is playing with Emily Hoile at the Chantry Museum last night
   for the Windy Gyle Band Force 6 launch. This won't be to everyone's
   liking but gives a flavour of what she  Emily get up to when left to
   their own devices. Aplogies for overloads, I started my Edirol running
   and then totally neglected the levels - Emily's harp shook the living
   daylights out of it!
