@johnnyhorton2 Borderpipes are not anywhere nearly as loud as GHB, but they're still not a quiet thing either. Louder than smallpipes. About right for one or two fiddle players. Great indoors or at a pub. Only a few makers in the world who I'd trust for an instrument. Oh, and if you want me to send you a copy of High Road to Linton, email me your US mailing address to hiddenvalleypc@mac.com
@johnnyhorton2 you can play a border pipe chanter with the same fingering as the GHB, but in addition, there are quite a few extra notes you can get on a good borderpipe chanter. (G# is nice to have - sure makes "Danny Boy" sound right! ) I can't get my scanner to work. I could mail you a copy of High Road to Linton.
Well played!!!
