Adrian and all: Please note change of email address, and hence change of mental hat. As far as I am aware, the NPS does not have, and has never had, a formally agreed policy on appropriate style for playing the Northumbrian smallpipes. Whether it should have one, and if so, what that should be, would be a matter for the NPS committee to decide. Such a process would hopefully include discussions with the commonly recognized authorities on the subject - our top-flight players. If you wish this matter to be taken up by the committee I will gladly draw it to their attention and initiate such a discussion. For the record, only a minority of the NPS committee read this list. I believe about 50% of the list's subscribers are NPS members. I hope this helps -- Julia Say, Hon Sec.
