    Why is everyone ignoring the Scots Guards Standard Settings of Pipe Music. Wherever you are on this planet ( except for Scotland) you get 10,000 different ways of how this tune played. Bit annoying, actually. …D-Throw in the second bar and a F-Doubling in the third bar..

    Hey there! I have been using your Cork Hill recording for the last few months to get my speed and timing down. I was surprised to see your rotator cuff videos. I had the surgery on Oct 5. On the practice chanter now, but not the pipes yet. I may have to try the switch you have made. Thanks for the inspiration!

    You’re.certainly determined and you are proceeding in a methodical manner. I guess you feel the damage is permanent otherwise why not just take off a couple of months from playing the pipes to heal? On a humorous side, watch out for comparisons to the (in)famous Rufus Harley, who played his pipes on the wrong side, although without switching the drone positions! Wishing you a quick recovery!
