It does,

Thank you!

Very interesting about the piano... I wasn't expecting that!


Cheers,

I agree as well - very interesting to learn of this and to my hears (no pun intended!), it makes sense. I also agree with the sentiments of other members in regards to this partilcular topic, if it upsets you that the pipes will not be played inside a church, perhaps at a wedding as in this example, then perhaps you should look elsewhere. I understand that many pipe bands and solo pipers do in fact play, or compete in an indoor setting, and that is perfectly acceptable, but to play inside of a church...sometimes, and in this specific case, is not entirely acceptable.

Traditionally, the Great Highland Bagpipe is indeed an outdoor instrument (arguably called an instrument of war), many of us are already aware of this, and in my opinion, the pipes should primarily be played as such - they just sound better outside - especially when the wind carries the skirl of that wonderful, pleasing, particular sound of the chanter!
