Hi Gillian, Just a thought. Now that there is a members area on the website, would it be an idea to close down the taborers disucssion group on yahoo that was...
Frances Your suggestion is exactly what will happen. All the music files have been transferred over ( and organised far more logically) and there are extra...
Hi all, Today I have added an illuminating piece by Juanma Sanchez about the pipe and tabor traditions of the west of Spain, along the Portugese border. I'm...
Hi Frances, Thanks for this new page; it sent me off on some fascinating surfing, and expanded my taboring techniques. I'm also gratified by the Spanish use of...
Does any of this affect this [tabor_n_pipe] list? Is it the same thing as the "Yahoo group?" David Barnert Albany NY ... From:"Stephen Rowley"...

There are two Yahoo groups (at least) dedicated to the pipe and tabor 'tabor_n_pipe' which is open access 'taborers' which TTS members only For a while people...
Evening All, I've added a new section to the draft website: UK images, sculptures, illustrations, carvings etc: and so far have Hemingbrough The Eden Project ...
Thanks, Gillian. I was one of the 'originals' back in the early days, but before there was a proper constitution I seem to have dropped off the list -...
The short answer is "No", none of the "membership area" discussion affects the tabor_n_pipe list. And (speaking as the list owner) could the TTS specific...

Question off-topic of tabor pipes, sort of. While visiting during a period hunting trip David Swinney (also on this post site -- Hi David!) got to talking...
I have tried the serpent - not easy, but tuba players get on well with it. In this family of instruments the pitching of a note is as much to do with...
I was talking with a serpent player just recently (he brought one to the local recorder society playing session) and he was saying the notes are mostly lip,...

I thought I had replied to this but it didn't appear to post -- wanted to thank you and Steve for your information. I learned a great deal about the Serpents. ...
Construction/Pattern questions: I have two Mack Hoover whistles (CVPC and metal) and the mouth peices can be removed (and other whistle body added). I have...
Interesting. Since learning to play the tabor pipe, I have occasionally played a 6-hole Generation high-D whistle in a way that makes use of the tabor pipe...

Since I make them, I can give a reasonable answer.The situation is that wit h high-pitched pipes the diameter is more-or-less similar to that of whistles of...
Hello David, Yes, what you are saying makes a great deal of sense -- which confuses me. I didn't know if Mack was speaking specifically about his own whistle...
Hey Yuri, Yeah, I guess my taping job or the issue of it's larger size is what made it difficult to play. The bore must not be the issue I thought it was. ...
Oh, it still will work with wider bores, it's just that it won't be ideal. There are tabor pipes (the txistus) that have wider bores than whistles of the same...
The bore is critical. It is an important part of what makes something a tabor pipe. I get quite a few tabor pipes sent to me by whistle makers for advice on...
Steve, Is there a proportion length/bore that is applicable to any pitch? pete _____ From: tabor_n_pipe@yahoogroups.com [mailto:tabor_n_pipe@yahoogroups.com]...
As far as bore to length ratio goes, I recommend reference to the information in the English Dance & Song magazine (haven't got the copy with me, so I can't...
