Hi all,
I was snooping around the help inside the program bagpipeplayer and see they list a high g throw thats a lot different from the one I see elsewhere...
The high g throw I am used to is G followed by F gracenote...
What they call a high g throw in bagpipeplayer lists G/A/F/A gracenotes...
I tried the find this bagpipeplayer version in all the song books I had and could not find it used anywhere...I dont have many books though...
Has anyone else seen this form of a high g throw shown in the bagpiper help under throws?
Could it be that the high g throw I am used to is a half high g throw?
Thanks in advance for any comments!

Firstly my apologies for posting while no fully under control of my faculties - its's my girlfriend's birthday and we've got a few friends over - I nreally shouldn't be posting at all. I've grabbed some books - Logans gives a high G throw as Ag'f'G' "As high G is sound, touch the G finger to sound F, and melody note high G".
I'm too lubricated to find it in Joseph Macdonalds book.
I've got a spare copy of 'Original Compostitions for Bagpipes' by Tim Keogh. Irrelavant, but seems worth mentioning after sambuca.
'How to play the Bagpipe' by Lewis Davidson has no comment, but then neither does John Maclellan's 'Music for the Highland Bagpipe'.
Ah well, I can't ignore our company any more, but I don't recognise the phrasing you describe from any tunes I play.
Sorry that I'm sozzled. Don't know if that helps.
