    You should really re-tie those drones. It'll make a world of differance I swear!! Do you ever find that your pipes seem to fall out from under your arm? That you get a bit of a sore neck while playing? That your just flat out uncomfi? Put your hand in between each drone (top of tenors), keep figures relaxed and natural and that's how far apart they should be tied. Swear to god it'll be like a whole new set of pipes!

    I am going to have to look into that. I attribute anything 'wrong' with still being a newbie piper. I just thought that the pipes are an uncomfortable instrument to play ...
