Hideeho,
I am new to the nsp list serve. I play fiddle and a few other
stringed instruments in various Celtic trad styles. My love of Celtic
music began when I was 12 listening to Scottish pipers. I am turning
40 this month and have decided at long last that I want to pipe! I
play routinely with my family who are also trad players so I need
something to play tunes on that context at least occassionally. I am
growing in fascination with the NSP. How should I start? Better
should I start given that I am now officially over the hill and have
never played any kind of a wind instrument. Are Scottish smallpipes
more appropriate. I am handy with fixing and maintaining
instruments. Help!
Cheers
Reid

My youngest daughter (10) has always been a little bit of a tune
sponge though she has refused to join the school choir (much to the
teachers disappointment) and only recently took up an instrument
(flute). Last night she was whistling something from Holst's The
Planets which she picked up somewhere but right now she is sitting
playing with Lego and whistling Morpeth Rant....which I happened to
be practicing on the melodeon about half and hour ago. She does it
better than I was doing.
