Hi Adrian,
We will never know, but don't miss the point, when the
chanter got closed, BOTH legato and staccato
Hi all,
I dare say they were legato and staccato; who knows whether they had closed end
or for some players, open ended chanters in those days? And remember, it was
music 'adapted' for the small-pipes. There are tunes that should have c# 's in
the book, but c's are played instead 'cause they
A question, or two:
I take it that most of those on this list are members of the NPS too? And if
you are members, then, is not one of the qualifications of being a member to
promote the pipes and accept that the NPS have some say as to what are the
small-pipes and how the Small-pipes should be
Adrian, John, Matt and all -- thanks for the help on the infinitely
adaptable detached playing styles, I can separate this quite clearly now
from Bassoon -- Matt sorry about the manuscript bit - I have been

Thanks Miguel,
I concur that all metal reeds sound well... metallic. One set of mouthblown
Scottish parlor pipes I own came with elegantly made all brass
reeds --tongue and body. They are very stable, easy to adjust, but

This topic is certainly worth a detailed and wide discussion, and it
would ultimately be worth the Committee issuing //advisory// guidelines.
But //prescriptive// guidelines - eg
any 2 notes should have a gap between them;
grace notes should also be separated, both from their melody note
I would certainly urge the other 50% to join the NPS. As the recognised
voice for the NSP and by the very nature of their existence it would seem
that those who contribute to the list could make their views more official
by joining.
One voice and all that.
The more members, the louder their voice

As we are doing. I have a running edit going on this thread (ie I'm
saving the mesages in order, and editing off the excess headers,
that's all), a digest of which will probably end up in

'Right reverend' for the Chairman and VP, surely??
I would absolutely agree that the music comes first, and a rigorous
prescriptive style could kill the music. My feeling is this is what
happened to Highland pipe music. Advisory guidelines, though, might
serve to remind people, especially
Just to take this discussion outside our immediate sphere I htough I would
share a sound clip with you. In amongst the dozens of emails from the NSP
list this morning I got one from a Colarado based group that mixes bagpipes
with rocking blues. I went to their site to have a listen and think
Did I hear the Peter Gunn theme in the background? It was the only thing
that was intelligible.

That's bonkers!!
It's great fun, though - I found a MySpace page for them. RJ Grady is the
