The Pipers Gathering is a whistle gathering is disguise....

after i posted, i realized i did not directly answer your question about bad habits: 1. sitting slumped in the chair 2. not closing the chanter completely, esp with the right hand. 3. not having a good pipers grip. if you are like most, 2 fingertips should be covering holes, all the rest should be t...
