[NSP] Re: choyte
From the prior choyte thread, a few years ago, someone indicated the origin of the term was onomatopoeic, akin to the clucking or cackle of hens or the like. best, Sam And I thought it was simple: Go going Gan ganning (gannin) Cheat cheating Choyte choyting (choytin) Onomatopoeic or dialect or cheating?

[NSP] Re: Ebay nsp book
The second photo provided in the ebay listing has the printed title page with Fenwick as the author. Why does it have a hand written top cover with Cocks and the author? Hello, I was going to lurk on this list a little longer before raising my head over the parapet, but wonder if you've noticed the copy of the nsp book, described as by Fenwick, but with W A Cocks' name on the cover currently on ebay.co.uk due to go at about 8.pm UK time, about 3 hours. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=110217410878ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:GB:1123 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=110217410878ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:GB:1123 or item no. 110217410878 if you prefer. I apologise if you're a member of this list have already bid... I've just raised the potential competition. I've already bought one book today... happy bidding if you do! Best wishes, Rihcard.

[NSP] High A, high B notes on an F pitched NSP chanter
Hello everyone, Is it normal to have to apply more pressure to the bag in order to play the high A and B notes to pitch? All the other notes play nicely to pitch with against the drones that get tuned perfectly to a blanced low and high G. This is not just a little extra pressure, it is alot. Is it normal to carve these high note holes to get them to pitch at the same pressure as the lower notes?
