So the lad only played once a week, for only 20 minutes? No wonder the neighbours complained. It will take him a thousand years to get competent. No wonder his folks won't let him play in the hoose.

The Scots also have chamber pipes, especially for playing indoors.

The Irish have big outdoor pipes too, much like the Scots pipes but with fewer drones. They call them war pipes!

Cyril Tawney had the same problem with sensitive neighbours. He wrote 'Beacon Park.'

I like the pipes. Played well.
