The finger spacing on such a tenor NSP would be like a treble, rather
than a sopranino recorder - should lie quite reasonably under the
fingers, and without too much stretch.
Presumably other dimensions - bore etc - would need scaling in
proportion. The reed could well be a difficulty, but not

Well, I was thinking of the benefit to the majority of the players.
But you are right, John.
The effect would be almost as bad as a group of pipers playing
together in both F and F plus
But the fellow players' pitch, to the runner's ears, would be raised
too. Two minor thirds is a tritone, so if I run fast enough for the D
pipes I'm playing to sound F to a stationary player, the F pipes he's
playing will sound G# to me. Nasty

Dear Richard,
Sound reasoning re the bores but at 4mm bore (5/32) it could be a little quiet
altho I have found it sound the same tone and volume as the regular 4.4mm
(11/64). The sharpening effect does work at 3,8mm (3/16) but can sound a
little too loud altho once again I have found it OK as
Dear Colin,
Now you have set me off measuring my chanters! My F and G chanters both
have a bore of 4.4mm while my D chanter checks in at 4.5mm. The pitch is
therefore governed by the length (how's that for showing my grandmother how
to suck eggs).
I have F and F# chanters from a
Happy New Year to you all.
