Hello Dave and others,
I see things a little differently.
Two things have happened here, the first being a move to have opinions,
information and other resources made permanently available in the form of a
forum. This is currently happening in the NPS Forum and the Traditional NSP

The forum certainly has value in my book. It was through this forum and the
NPS that I found the encouragement and advice necessary to start playing the
NSP. In Mississippi, USA no less. It is also how I found my set which arrived

Being in Liverpool, I'm well outside the regular piping fraternity of

Hi Francis,
I concur with all of your points, it's not bad at all that
I must admit that I am at a loss to understand the fuss about styles
of playing. I have always been aware that there are almost as many
styles as there are influential players. When I listen to good
players like Joe Hutton, Anthony, Andy, Kathryn, Alice, Alistair,
Adrian etc (why do so
Hi All,
When you go to sign up to the NPS forum Mike mentions, can you please do so
using your own name, or a recognisable form of it.
We've had problems in the past with strange pseudonyms, (including some this

thanks

I don't understand the rift between the proper pipers and the NPS. Don't they
owe much of their fame to winning and judging competitions there? Doesn't the
NPS publish and sell their books? I'm sorry to see fractious elitism born

John,
I try to stay out of these public debates, as it seems nothing good ever comes
of them. But I really think it is unfair of you to categorize the argument as
elitism because a couple of the best plpers are trying to make people
understand how to play their instrument properly.
