That's a great shame the so many had no entries this year - especially
the overseas players. Hopefully things will pick up again.

A lot of the ivory actually came from old billiard and snooker balls as
well and a lot of of them (and other ivory work) came from mammoth tusks
from Russia. Europeans used ivory mainly for piano keys and cutlery handles!

Quite different and, as you say, especially the keys. Bill's are a work
of art in themselves. Should really have looked at my own set before
replying.
The only other chanters I have seen (and not that many) have been rather
heavy and thick which made me
Doh! I did reply but sent it to the original sender instead of well

I saw a distinct Hedworth look in the chanter but note it's brass
fittings. He, I think, used NS (he did on mine) and there's more ivory
on this one.
I always thought of Bill's as very neat and slim so

Tradition is how things are done and it's an ever moving, never ending
flow. Very similar to the evolution of a language.
To insist that one certain aspect is the tradition is actually taking
a snapshot of that evolution and stopping it (as if we were to still
speak the English of Shakespeare).
I'll tell you what worries me.
Don't they listen/watch what they are posting for the public?
If they don't, why not?
If they do, why don't they notice that things are wrong?
This guy can obviously play the thing - including the regulators which

I was more thinking along
I've always thought of the spaces as being similar to playing something
like a glockenspiel/hammer dulcimer (with one hammer) or even a piano
(with one finger) where it's very difficult to play legato or slur notes
into one another. The fact I have six fingers and a thumb covering the

This is a fascinating thread.
I'm just going to throw in a few thoughts that have been going around my
head.
We are probably rather spoiled living in an age of recordings.
I'm thinking of the interpretation of the dots as opposed to actual
playing of them as written.
I suppose this is one
Without wanting to start anything - and not referring back to any
particular recent posting ;), I now realise that my total ignorance of

has been a Godsend as I've been able to listen to the sounds alone in
deciding if I

He was, however, only deaf in later life.
Still good excuse for some bad jokes :)
It was a genuine question though. If there is a correct was to play,
that must have been decided at sometime by someone.
