Thanks a lot Anahat, very clear.

I thought Leicestershire pipes were the subject of a workshop at Whitby this year.

Lancashire pipes have been the subject of speculation for a long time. I think Mary will recall Harry Boadman and (maybe?) Canny Fettle and Jamie Knowles being involved in the hunt and turning up tunes in the 70's.

Incidently, how can the instrument be identified from the tunes?
