Hello friends,
May I point you again to the DVD, produced to the 50th
anniversary of Dennis Brain´s tragic death. Ken Pope carries
this DVD for the US market(it is in NTSC, so to run on all
machines). It contains a foreword with documents about the
accident on Sept.1st, 1957, some never published

You must have a kinship for an American author of the mid 20th Century, H.
Allen Smith He often wrote the definition of a gentleman was someone who
could play the bagpipes, but didn't. Of course his opinions are subject to
question because he also was an advocate of putting beans in chili.

Aw, c'mon. I've heard jigs played on pipes where you just couldn't keep your

From my own experience, I don't find that medium throat horns are any
more notchy than wide throat horns. I use my right hand all the time
for intonation purposes on both types of horns (I own one of each and do
switch between them depending on circumstances). For me, adjusting

Not knowing the answer, I'm going to change the subject a little and ask if
your valves are tight. There's a lot more than the bell that comes into
play regarding how pitches center on any given horn.

Hello Tim, before you do anything, visit my website
www.pizka.de/Corks.html and see how to replace them. I had
used neoprene before, but they tend to swell if in contact
with certain oils. So I changed back to the use of corks.
