Well said, Anthony! The fact that you can play should be obvious to anyone who
doesn't have their ego where their ears should be.

In that case he wouldn't hear them at all, but I reckon being dead is an even

Hi Colin and others,
The closed-fingering technique derives much more from the nature of the
instrument rather than any opinions about style.

Has it occurred to anyone that once a tradition has started to get self

still fully living as a tradition, is just 'how things are', without
needing to ask itself what is traditional and what isn't. It even

Hello Francis,
Quite so, but, playing devil's advocate for a minute, (and loving
tradition except where it becomes tribal), does the fact that we can
play staccato and 99% of other pipes can't, mean it's all we should do?
The harpsichord, after all, could only really play staccato or slightly
it's its. Define.

Since the NSP chanter has a stopped end, there would be little point in
adopting anything other than this fingering style, which allows separate
notes with (usually) a distinguishable silence between each. This is
something that no other bagpipe can do. In fact it would be difficult to

Hello Richard,
I think we pretty much agree.

Detached playing is not necessarily staccato. When the notes are long,

Francis,
I think the tuning of modern UP is optimised when they're played closed.
If the chanter's played open, it drinks more air, and plays sharper.
