I wonder if this advert for a privately run course is allowed on this
list. This is a course that is not run by the NPS but for the benefit
of the person who is running it who although taking the risk and time
to organise it is also taking any profit that may arise.

The Halsway Course has regularly been advertised here Colin with many
of the same tutors ( including yourself) - what's the difference?

Yes, for goodness sake. If Susan had come up here and run the course as
a Society event that would have been the sensible, non ego- tripping,
thing to do especially as she was taking advantage of running it
between the Society events of the Competitions and the Concert.
A lot of folk beleive it
The difference is that this is a course run by an individual for profit
and not an organisation.

And if (nsp dartmouth) is only for material sanctioned by the NPS, why did
we need (NPS discussion).
And can I advertise the Manchester group Pipers' day (3rd October) run and
risk taken by individuals (no financial support from the NPS) on the (NPS
discusion) list. Well I'm going to anyway.
What about some 'give and take' here? What of the business I imagine
inevitably generated over the years via the NPS for a professional pipemaker
through
holding the positions of Chairman of and Technical Adviser to, the Society?

By this logic individuals would not be able to advertise pipes

Those are very reasonable points, Di.
I recall, and can quote, a posting by the complainant in which he
advertises a set, partly of his own making, on this list. It doesn’t
state that the sale is on behalf of anyone else so presumably he
intended to keep the money.
Nothing wrong with
Many thanks to all who replied, I've given this lots of thought! I really am
set on a concert D set of pipes as my primary aim is to play with the many
melodeon players that I know and this rather fixes me in D, especially for
the majority of the tunes I already play. I am also determined to sing
In any case, the course has now received considerably more advertising than
it might otherwise have Clever marketing strategy on someone's part.

I have been on this dartmouth list for more years than I care to imagine. I
have always understood it to be a forum for ANYONE who is interested in the
Northumbrian small pipes. A meeting place where we can discuss any topic of
general interest relating to the pipes including courses,
As a non-NSP player who does however
play regularly with NSP players I would caution that a concert D set is
NOT the obvious choice if you are playing with other instruments whose
main keys are G and D. In terms of the range and key of many trad
tunes played on other instruments
I regularly play a concert D set with other instruments, melodeons
concertinas etc and have no problems with the range. I did consider a G
set but the hole spacings on the chanter proved a problem for my
fingers. C nat keys allow playing in both G and D

I'm, glad someone else aid it first.
I wasn't aware that this particular list was only for NPS events and news. I
thought it was a general list for anyone interested in any aspect of the
pipes.
So, if a course is being run and ISN'T held by the NPS we can't read it/post
it etc?
This puerile
For playing along with other instruments, I would definitely go for a G set -
with the same range as a D whistle.
A D set of pipes might suit the range of an mezzo or alto voice better, and
does have a mellower tone.
G pipes are sometimes a little too reedy and occasionally squeaky.
So it

In response to Matt Seattle's message - I have had some possibly
relevant experience of playing chanters in D, F, and G. I discovered
