[NSP] re music for a funeral

re Colin's request, I have found that "Derwentwater's Farewell" works well. It is in Pauline Cato's "Northumbrian Choice" book, p. 21. However, it is always worthwhile talking to the persons concerned to get their feel for the occasion. Peter Dunn -- To get on or off this list

[NSP] re piper's pitch v. concert pitch

Regarding the question of pitch, it is all a matter of whether one is playing on one's own or playing with others. If playing solo, it doesn't really matter what the pitch is. The problem comes when trying to play with others. Then, it's just a nuisance that the pipes aren't in true
