This is something that no other bagpipe
can do. In fact it would be difficult to think of another wind
instrument capable of silence whilst pressure is applied. At
present I can only identify the ocarina.
Uilleann pipes, chanter stopped on knee, all fingers down?

However, I think we differ over the harpsichord's ability to
play 'long-sustained'.
I was having this discussion with my wife the other day (she plays keyboards
rather better than I can), so I went to the harpsichord and tried it to check.
Just like on a piano, if you hold a key down, the
Joe Hutton seemed a bit lukewarm about that.
Joe didn't exactly play ultrastaccato, did he?

Oh the perils of using a short-hand term carelessly!
OK, I shouldn't have called it staccato, I was merely characterising
the general sound difference between piano and plucked keyboard
instruments to make my point, a dangerous and un-scholarly thing to do

Unfortunately some people do seem to think staccato means short.

Chris,
May I point you to the Dolmetsch dictionary

Personally, staccato is a word I use for
We had a great Junuary session yesterday here in the Pacific
Northwest. We had two sessions going at one point with G pipes and
concertina in one room, and F sets in the other. Although only one or
two of the group (not me) can play popping fast runs like Chris,
Adrian and Alice,
Barry,
stacc. abbreviated form of staccato (Italian: detached, separated)
staccare(Italian) to detach, to separate each note
The word has its natural meaning, in other words.
Stacatissimo is what some people think it means, but it doesn't!
