Fun to play too!

What is it about the LOW-G embellishments that get everyone worked up over? Maybe because those guys in the audience are pipers and they KNOW how difficult low-hand stuff is. The Palsy-Finger (B) and Burl Finger don't often do what they are told, at least, so I've heard.

Hello Alan,
I think going from high G to low G without causing a squeal is always a cause for celebration!

@@AppsReeds Ain't that the truth. At my age my left thumb has suffered a "trigger" condition to where I've had to re-learn my upper hand technique, it's not been fun. And yes, occasionally the HIGH frequency skreech is sometimes my nemesis.
