[NSP] Re: Brazilian Piper
Hi Kevin, The idea is sound, the execution is still a little lacking. Below is the link to the pipemakers we have so far on the NPS website. http://www.northumbrianpipers.org.uk/index.php?page=pipemakers This would be a good opportunity to ask any makers, fettlers, teachers or professional performers if they would like their details listed on the NPS website This service is free to all members of the NPS, otherwise its £15 per annum. Coincidentally, membership is also £15 per annum! We would like to offer on the site a world service, so this includes all those who are overseas from this small island. cheers Tim On 13 Jul 2011, at 00:04, Kevin wrote: > Hi to All, > A Brazilian piper is asking to buy a set of northumbrian small pipes in D. i > said i would find some makers for him. > i am no longer in the NS Society so i do not have access to any of the makers > addresses, professional / non-professional. > so is there any advice i could send him about obtaining a set in D? > perhaps someone has a set to sell? > or perhaps there is a maker in south america, or USA or somehwere near to > brazil than the UK? > could a list of UK makers be set via the NSP web site? > any advice, > many thanks > kevin > > > > > To get on or off this list see list information at > http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[NSP] Brazilian Piper
Hi to All, A Brazilian piper is asking to buy a set of northumbrian small pipes in D. i said i would find some makers for him. i am no longer in the NS Society so i do not have access to any of the makers addresses, professional / non-professional. so is there any advice i could send him about obtaining a set in D? perhaps someone has a set to sell? or perhaps there is a maker in south america, or USA or somehwere near to brazil than the UK? could a list of UK makers be set via the NSP web site? any advice, many thanks kevin To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[NSP] Re: Rants
I think this (courant/rant) may be just a coincidence of syllables. Though there is a general tendency to use various specific dance-names, like rant, reel, courant, hornpipe and even jig, to mean 'dance', and nothing more. Look at 'The Reel of Harden' in 9/8 for an example A lot of Atkinson's bourees and gavottes don't fit the standard baroque definition; modern French bourees can be in 3/8, which certainly doesn't.

Interesting references Anthony. Do I take it you are identifying the Rant with the Courant(e)? Interesting how one can find diverging etymologies which converge strangely.

[NSP] Missing pipes
A set of concert G pitch nsp has "gone missing" at a European airport. It is by Colin Ross and has a 17 keyed chanter. If anyone should hear of, or be offered such a thing, could they contact me, please - not Colin - and I'll put you in touch with the owner The owner had insurance, but obviously the loss is distressing.

[NSP] Rants
Hello Folks Here's what the OED comes up with for 'rant': ...couE^ rant | carant, v. intr. To dance... 1. A kind of dance formerly in vogue, characterized by a running or gliding step (as distinguished from leaping). 2.Music. The tune used for accompanying this dance, or a tune of similar construction; a piece of music in triple time, regularly following the Allemande as a movement of the Suite. 1586 E. Hoby tr. M. Coignet Polit. Disc. Trueth xi. 39 The Voltes, courantes, and vyolent daunses proceede from furie. [1596 J. Davies Orchestra lxix. sig.

My computer tells me it has gone but members tell me nothing has appeared on the list.
