Frm the gurdy list

"You shouldn't try to copy pipers' ornamentation, which is specific to 
pipe fingering. They can do things we can't, so you must look for 
simpler ornaments which can be just as effective. Pipers need ornaments 
to articulate the melody and give rhythmic drive. We make the rhythm 
with the trompette, so we don't need elaborate ornaments. And the 
essence of a pibroch is a slow melody, not clever finger tricks - well, 
not for us."
