Hi Bill,
No, I was thinking of the Chiff and Fipple Forums and the UIlleann Pipes 
Forums.


Find them here:
http://forums.chiffandfipple.com/index.php (select the uilleann pipes 
section)

http://www.uilleannforum.com/

Each is very good but the separation of the Uilleann Forum into several 
sections is a better format. The Chiff and Fipple forum has more information 
archived however.

Hi Richards (both of you good folk!)

I rather agree with Adrian that this kind of discussion is best held in a 
dedicated area. 

Some people are passionately interested in this aspect of piping, whilst others 
will find it totally boring.

The problem with Dartmouth is that it is very difficult to follow the thread of 
any discussion, since the topic being discussed may have moved far from the 
original subject. This is why it is often difficult to extract useful 
information from the archived posts. There is also no opportunity to host sound 
or image files

Facebook seems to me to be a useful place to initiate this discussion so far. 
The problem there is that nothing is archived. Perhaps the best destination for 
this interesting discussion is a dedicated area of an already existing forum. 
Peacock's Parlour perhaps?

[NSP] Re: Proper piping group

2011-05-27 Thread smallpipes
I agree with both Francis and Julia.  A good, well run, forum is a  
great and flexible tool for the discussion of all matters piping.  I  
have been a member of a number of forums for my other interests and  
compared with the mailing list style of interaction there is no  
comparison.  I have also created and managed a forum for the support  
of a Computer Aided Design package (now defunct) as well as been a  
member of several music mailing lists (bluegrass and mandolin) so I do  
have some experience.

Some of the benefits of a forum are as follows:-

Topics are threaded so that it is easy to follow a discussion.
Topics are easy to search and easy to archive.
Posts can have attachments such as PDFs, MP3, pictures and many other  
useful files.
Special interest areas are easy to provide and can be easily moderated  
(policed)
Sections for classified ads, rants etc will keep the main discussion  
areas more focused.
Posts can be edited by the poster for a period set by the list owner  
(usually 24 hours)


And many more.

I would suggest that the forum being set up on the NPS site would be  
the best place to use as it does look as though it could be good.   
There are a couple of niggles however:-


I have tried to register but, despite having received an  
acknowledgment some 4 days ago,  I still haven't been approved.   
This is not helping the forum grow.


On the forum I managed I used the forum's automated registration tools  
so that a user could register and be on the forum in a few minutes and  
all I had to do was to throw off the very few people who abused the  
forum.


Also I think that the forum should be on the front page of the site  
rather than being tucked away on the members page.


This forum should be a powerful tool in the NPS task of spreading the  
word and supporting Northumbrian Piping across the world

The V  A are intending to place in long-term storage its collection of 
historic musical instruments, which is unparalleled in the UK. The reason 
for this destruction, given by a V  A spokesman, is so that the gallery

been part of the collection since its inception in 1851: the museum has 
received adverse comment on this plan from curators worldwide. The removal 
is to take place in Spring 2010, and is a short-term decision which will 
have long-term negative results for scholars and music lovers alike..


Although not strictly pipes-based, I feel it's a further step to downgrading

[NSP] Re: Not Piping - closure of Instrument section of VA

2010-01-22 Thread Francis Wood
Thank you for posting this, Colin.

The VA's collection of musical instruments is not huge, but the quality of 
every item makes this one of the world's major collections. The VA has been 
from its beginnings essentially a museum of applied arts. The presence of 
musical instruments, each of which displays the highest quality of manufacture 
and decoration, would seem to promote this purpose. However this is not the 
view of the current director, Sir Mark Jones, who has taken the decision to 
remove the collection from view and place it into storage. Collections rarely 
revive from such permanent hibernation and the effects of this move are likely 
to be irrevocable.

The fine catalogue of the collection is likely to be O/P . Its non-keyboard 
section was written by Anthony Baines, well known to pipers as the author of 
'Bagpipes', perhaps the most highly regarded book on the subject. Incidentally 
Hugh Cheape adopted the same title for his own excellent book (largely on 
Scottish pipes) as a homage to this earlier work.

Signing the petition (link in Colin's mail) will not prevent the closure which 
is imminent, but it will indicate displeasure and is worth doing for that 
reason.

Windz 7  does not yet have sufficient drivers or debugging to be fully

I suggest you boot from a win xp non-install (boot sys cd) cd or linux

diskyou can delete it all by switching off. Or maybe  get all portable

It is a pity you can't take advantage of the course after being the 
most persistent in asking for it. With Susan moving up to the NE it 
would have been perfect if she had taken it on for the Society but she 
decided for her own reasons to do it as a private event. It disappoints

I really hate to prolong this discussion, but just want to point out

mid '90s I persistently begged and pleaded, in person, by e-mail and?by 
snail
mail, ?with the NPS chairman and committee members to organize a 
week-long
piping course such as Susan is now doing, and was told it was quite out 
of the
question, for numerous reasons.? For the two (?) years that the 
Northumberland
(Northumbria?) Festival took place, it would have been an 
ideal?combination.???
As it was, there were all manner of wonderfully interesting events 
taking place
in the evenings, but absolutely nothing during the day.??Dave Burleigh 
and
Maureen Davison could not have been more helpful with suggestions for 
places to
visit and things to do to make valuable use of the time, and for?most 
generous
hospitality.???No one was interested in playing ?a couple of duets - 
probably
fair enough - you don't just welcome with open arms every stray who 
lands on you

doorstep,?but finally I was put in contact w!
ith Lance Robson, who could not have been friendlier.? And Colin Ross 
was most
helpful in fettling the drone reeds he had installed a few years 
previously and

which by then needed some further TLC.



At that point in time there were no other pipers in Western 
Pennsylvania, and

there were fairly cheap, direct flights from USA to England.??And now,
ironically, over a decade later,? there is this course, which by all 
accounts is
excellent, but air fares are much more expensive, there are no direct 
flights to
UK from our local airport, and I have become so involved with musical 
activities

in this area this autumn that I can't leave.?



Good luck, Susan.?? It is great that you have this course, now in its 
2nd
year.?? Long may it continue.?? Hopefully I'll be better 
organized?another year
and be able to join in.? And how would we all know about it if it were 
not

mentioned on the Dartmouth NSP list??



Keep on smiling and keep on piping, (and, yes, there are now a couple 
of good
pipers living close by, and I do play the pipes with lots of other

   Gentlemen,

  I think it should have contained a card sending you thanks from
 Rupert
  Boulting for your contribution to the 30 tunes project. I received
 one
  this weekend.

It was a lovely card from Rupert Boulting, thanking us for working on the First
30 Book.

Oh, and a 500 pound note as additional thanks - too bad yours was empty ;-)
