Also is it not the case that when Highland pipers (including these students) pick up a set of Border pipes (as quite a few are doing nowadays though usually it's a set of 'Scottish Smallpipes' at first) the instrument is treated only as an ersatz Highland bagpipe? Yes now probably OT so maybe this conversation should take place in a different forum?
Bill Still, what a shame that the pipers in that program only get an afternoon of something other than Highland music. I'm sure they get plenty more than that, John (they all take a second instrument), but only a tiny wee bit of it is Border piping. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html No virus found in this incoming message.
