Re: Farting Lips

Re: Don't Overblow The Reed
This seems to go back to the idea of balancing the strength (amount of air required) for drone reeds with the strength of a chanter reed, and all of that being at a playing pressure that is very...

Re: New Compositions in ceol mor
Are these just themal notes (no grace notes?) or am I not understanding something?
