I was responding to this post. -- Forwarded message -- From: Kyle Eckmann [1]eckmanncustomt...@hotmail.com Date: Jun 17, 2011 1:33 PM Subject: RE: [NSP] Billy Pigg To: [2]inkyadr...@googlemail.com Hello everyone, I've made several requests over the last year to have my address removed from this mailing list. And I'm still on the list. I just have to much to keep up with these days to contribute to the conversation. So here is my contribution. Inky, You display no joy in your position. You come across as an arrogant ass of an old man who doesn't really enjoy the instrument or the music. Now, Can I please be removed from this mailing list? :) Happy piping!

I ended up buying the NSPs. Billy Pigg was the piper I went for because he was sympathetic to Irish music, having been influenced by Irish musicians and their music, and Scottish music. Pigg also imitated the various pipes of these countries. He wasn't interested in tradition. Because of him and various other pipers, including me, the NSPs have almost become a mixture of playing styles with the proper technique almost being lost. The NSPs are loosing their roots and loosing their identity because of lazy, so called players, who don't know how to play or can't do it properly because of their slow dexterity or their Pigg stupid ideas. I'm saying this because I care and it takes a Lancastrian to do it. I've taken to the tradition more than most and those who say the NSPs can be played any-old-how are the ones ruining the pipes. Why don't you take up an easy instrument to play instead of lowering the standard of a fantastic instrument? or just stop posting on here. The forum, which I made because it was needed, would not tolerate my post nor any other postings of this sort becsuse we have one goal: Traditional NSPs, their history, playing, etc etc. There is no disagreement with us, we are just progressing and preserving our NPSs away from those who know little or nothing. So keep on Dartmouth, where you can bitch, argue or whatever.

The annual smallpipe Bitch and Bite comps. will be in July. There will be 6 classes: absolute sloppyness and running-your-notes-in, just damn right easy-playing, almost there, nearly normal, can't play like that-it's too hard and tight as a cats arsehole.

[NSP] Proper piping group
The new facebook forum The Proper Northumberland small-pipe Players has now developed into an array of topics: Traditional reedmaking, smallpipe making , traditional developement and delving into the past to see how things might have worked and possibly revamp them for todays use. The forum is not for those who have a total dislike of of all things traditional, it is for those who have a positive view and a general agreement with each other on what the small-pipes are about. We are actively recording the tunes and how we think the pipes should be sound. Adrian. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[NSP] Rules
I don't want a definate rule I would just like thr NPS to acknowledge that there is a traditional way of playing the small-pipes which is detached. If they don' t, then they are saying that the pipes have no playing tradition, therefore I'm playing pipes which are a bastard- no lineage of how they are played. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[NSP] new group
Hello all, A new Facebook group The Proper Northumberland Small-pipe Players has been founded. Anyone can join if they have a passion for the correct method of playing the pipes - detached fingering - as opposed to the commercial and wrong way - running. the notes in together, sloppyness and choyting.

[NSP] whatever
Hello all, to play so many notes with the thumb? What sort of instrument is this. First it was holes, fingered, then a Top A key? Then more key's,7. Then more key's,17. Whatever! We now have some-one playing 60-odd key's in 78 note's? Correct me if I'm wrong. This is very strange. The correct playing method will die and people, like you Anthony , will make money. I'm not influenced by money. I do promote the correct way of playing the Northumberland Small-pipes, as does Mr Ormston; for free! I hope the Northumberland small-pipes would die, as Tom Breckon's agreed with me, it should. your's Fingerless Adrian -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

[NSP] Key of C
Hello all, the hornet's nest is being stirred here! the problem is that the best keying arrangement for any one key will be compromised due to the arpeggios and runs in the different key signatures. Also, the keying arrangement would be different if the tune has arpeggios and no runs or vice-versa in just one key! Basically, in the keys of G and D, on standard 7 key chanter, there are two compromise: the low F'# key and D key, two uses of the right thumb, also, the top G to B key where one has to replace the left thumb on G to play the top B key or vice-versa. More to come later, it's late. Adrian -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[NSP] Re: Doubleday
Hello all this instrument does not lack ability, it lacks players who can't play in the correct method; not many can do that. Expression is emphasised in precision. I'm not here to delineate. There is no more expression in those who can play the detached method with feeling. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
