[Trombone-l] Bone guys that play other horns

[John Noxon]

Do you have to wear something "special" under the Kilt to play bagpipes? If
you wear just anything people may think it is a horrible monster attacking a
helpless old lady.

Now for the serious question what are the pipes and the drones usually tuned
to. Do they make pipes in different keys or how does that work. Change key
by changing the canter I think it is called? Does anybody know how these
things work? I have always thought it would be fun to have a set to mess
with for a little while, just to see what they are like. Probably make more
money with those instead of being a bone player!

Wayne, if I did play the bagpipes nobody would be able to tell whether I was
good or not at it.
