Interesting fact about the USAF Pipe band.....P/M Sandy Jones played in our band for a few years, and now his nephew plays with us too. One of the tenor drummers is Ben Curtis, he visited with us two weeks ago at band practice. Remember back about 20 years ago when you did a workshop for us in Spokane? Learned so much, and yet something like P/M Jones probably wasn't even discussed. Interesting cross section of history!
While I'm a grade 2 piper I do have a question: What chanter is that? I love how perfectly tuned it is. It upsets the nines out of me when I hear practice chanters that aren't properly tuned! So I use tape even on my practice chanter. Do you use tape too? I also LOVE your canntaireachd by the way, so I found this to send to another friend of mine who just ADORES canntaireachd.
Thanks for comment on my practice chanter. It was made by Charley Kron in NY state about 20 years ago. John Walsh made the poly-lined blackwood top with watertrap and installed the silver. JM

Hi Jim thank you for sharing this video. Amazing
Great lesson Jim
Thanks, Jim, for this inspirational lesson. The clip of the Air Force band at the end encapsulated all that the pipes stand for and more besides.
Very instructional
Wow! Another great lesson Jim. Thank's very much.
Very much appreciated this your lesson on this fine tune. Plus, many thanks for Rhythmic Finger work
My pleasure!
