Hi all.
I listened to someone playing The Glasgow City Police Pipers jig yesterday. The piper didn't play the ordinary version, but some variation, and now I'm wondering whether anyone here can tell me how this is done.
For the first 6 bars of the 4th part, you normally play F-hA E-hA C-hA B-hA (E-hA instead of B-hA in the fourth bar) three times.
What the piper did, was play some kind of upwards scale in the 4th bar, in double tempo compared to the tempo of the F E C B scales.
I hope you somehow get what I'm talking about. If so, maybe you can explain to me how this variation is played properly.
Thanks a lot

I think I know what you mean. I heard a guy play a variation of this tune and there was more to it than just the 4th bar of the 4th part, but to try and answer your question... delete the 4th bar and add B-hA-C-hA-D-hA. Now the part about his tempo increasing, I think is related to embellishments added to the non 'hA' notes in that bar. You'll need indy fingers to do it, but try adding half doublings to the B, C and D of that part. Let me know what you think. I have the entire arrangement (as I remember it) written in electric pipes if you want it.

Thanks for the help , I think you got me wrong about the tempo. I meant that this scale upwards had note durations half as long as the F E C Bnotes in the other bars.
But the notes you proposed sound good, not quite sure what electric pipes are, but if you mean stuff for the bagpipe player, it would be cool to have that, especially because you say that there are other bars modified too.
please send it to sh1n0d4@arcor.de
Thanks again, max
