Ref mistakes in pictorial depictions of pipers . As someone mentioned earlier ''There are also examples in Hugh Cheape's recent book about bagpipes.''
I haven't read Hugh Cheape's book but quite a few years ago he had an article published in the LBPS magazine, Common Stock highlighting the many examples of errors made by artists, lithographers, printers etc so I expect the new book will further amplify this. Few pipers ''choose'' to play with the bag under the right arm. And note that the vast majority of people who ride a bicycle mount and dismount and, especially, when walking along pushing the bike beside them do so on the left. (Maybe its the same with horse-riders?). Anyway do we know why this is the ''natural'' way to do it?
