what sort of duet? - Crane is fairly straightforward. McCann is supposed to be pretty easy too, although i've not played one. Haydens are bloody stupid.

The issue is more whether you have to play in F to accomodate northumbrian pipes!

Certainly if the tune is in D, then it's harder on the N pipes than on any concertina, but if it's in F, Bb etc then the pipes are going to be easier. no?
