IIRC weren't his own personal set of pipes said to be among the easiest ever to play?Mr.Gumby wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 6:58 amMy C set could do it, no bother. It was my party piece for students who over-worked the bellows for a long time. Still on the original 1986 bag that at this stage owes me nothing, it has become more difficult.I think it might be possible with some flat sets or very lightly set concerts for short tunes, in the right circumstances, with a confident player, in a tight fingering style, during a full moon, with 68.3758% humidity.
Leo Rowsome was well known for knowing how to set up a set of pipes well. I don't think it was hyperbole on his part.
And I don't think 'tight style' uses less air, unless you clip your notes very short ofcourse.
