[NSP] Re: musette
Yes, hugely interesting. Thanks Paul! Of greatest interest perhaps is the lecture-demonstration on this site by Jean Pierre van Hees, one of the best of the very few expert players. A fairly scary example of chanter dangling (ivory and silver items) and the waving around of that set of exposed bourdon double reeds made me fairly nervous. Among other items, he plays passages from Chédeville's adaptation for musette of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. A very good find.

[NSP] Re: musette
Thanks for those links, The sound of musette with harpsichord, also on the same youtube page is just a wonderful noise! - though it really needs the bass viol too. However, I do find with musette music that a little goes a long way, and all those Hotteterre tunes sound the same after a bit! The Palladian Ensemble have recorded the Vivaldi/Chedeville Four Seasons, on a CD called Les Saisons Amusantes - haven't checked to see if it's still available - with Jean-Pierre Rasle on musette and Nigel Eaton, hurdy-gurdy. Far better than the once very popular Nigel Kennedy version ;-) Philip - Original Message - From: Paul Gretton i...@gretton-willems.com To: 'Francis Wood' oatenp...@googlemail.com Cc: 'NSP group' Sent: Saturday, December 05, 2009 10:05 AM Subject: [NSP] Re: musette Actually, that's what I meant to link to!

[NSP] Set of DM Quinn NSP to be sold
Greetings all, I am posting on the list at the suggestion of John Liestman. I have a set of NSP made for me by David Quinn in 1980. The set is made of African Blackwood and has a 7 keyed, G chanter. The keys are of brass. Photos are available and can be had simply be emailing me, subject NSP photos. There are extra drone and chanter reeds, all made by David. The set is in like new condition. Except for a few months attempting to learn to play them 30 years ago, they have been properly stored ever since. (Why I never learned to play them, or am not going to do so now, is a story better left untold, as it would break your heart) Further, the pipes have just returned from David's shop where they received new key pads, a new chanter reed, and a good going over to be sure they were in top condition. David, who admitted that he was rusty at playing the NSP, graciously obliged me by playing a couple of tunes on the pipes and they, and his verbal assessment of the pipes, can be heard by going to this link; [1]http://files.me.com/nakris/srwmxv As David is primarily known for his Uilleann Pipes, I will be listing these NSP on Chiff and Fipple, as well as the Bob Dunsire forums. Any other suggestions from you folks at the NSP list would be greatly appreciated. As for cost, it has been suggested that I simply state that serious offers will be considered, until some idea of value comes into focus.

[NSP] G. Atkinson out-takes
One of the tapes in my collection of Billy Pigg items has an extended interlude of other pipers. One is a track of Jean and Basil Clough, but the rest appear to be George Atkinson. The tracks which recently surfaced in the British Library recordings are there, but there are also some apparent out-takes from the Wild Hills of Wannie LP I have the Barrington Hornpipe, but followed by the Marquis of Lorne and The Irish Washerwoman, which it isn't on WHW. There is also the Complete Navvie on the LIne set from WHW. Finally there is a set containing Jackey Layton (most of it - he breaks down about 2/3rd of the way through), Roxborough Castle with a slip in, and most of the Flowers of Edinburgh, again there's some fluffing in it. Has anybody else ever come across these? (Adrian S. should have them, since my tapes are mostly copies of his, but otherwise?) For the present, they are digitised, as the cassettes are getting old. I might try getting in touch woth the original source and see if there's any more where that came from.

Sounds like a real treasure trove of archival recordings. I hope they will become available via FARNE or some other entity.
