> There may be one or two apart from Adrian interested in the Alice > person. Alice's playing is gorgeous in my opinion. Of course I am currently the lone NSPiper in Mississippi and have only been playing since December so my brief connection with this fascinating tradition is by correspondence only. I have been getting frustrated lately but Alice's playing is inspirational. I must confess that the intricate threads discussing the nuances of key placement etc are lost on me. I suppose time will make things more familiar. I am hoping to make it to the Pipers Gathering if I can work out my schedule. I think my set (drones mostly) needs a real tuneup. Will anyone be there to help with an inspection and possible tweek? That may tip the scales in the direction of me making the effort to attend.

[NSP] Alice Burn
Hello folks There may be one or two apart from Adrian interested in the Alice person. Here she is playing with Emily Hoile at the Chantry Museum last night for the Windy Gyle Band Force 6 launch. This won't be to everyone's liking but gives a flavour of what she & Emily get up to when left to their own devices. Aplogies for overloads, I started my Edirol running and then totally neglected the levels - Emily's harp shook the living daylights out of it!

Busy with real music so briefly: Tim & Adrian: Tune in E maj on G chanter - the A part has about 78 notes and 62 of them are played on the right thumb so even electronic pipes don't help unless of course you cheat by electronically transposing. Barry: Tradition is wonderful but not if it insists on flat Bs etc! I thought at the time your fruit analogy was flawed (perishables compared with reasonably stable entities - not a good idea). Just as Reid pipes need tweaking to make them sweet to modern ears so too with the Cox - Bryan spacings. Dukes -paid hundreds of pounds in pipers wages to keep them in the popular domain this included a Tyneside Reid in the mid 19th century. I'm sure you will be able to discover more should you wish to delve. Anthony -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

chanter or a G >chanter. Assuming that we're talking about nominal rather than absolute pitches, this wouldn't make any difference, would it? C To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
