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?

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.
