I just went and re found the video, he said ideal for playing with other instruments, not ITM. So my bad. But he does mention tuning stability and how they play better with other instruments multiple times, so my memory is at least partially good haha. It was somewhere else, I think some makers website saying people were buying BP for ITM or something. But that could also be wrong lol. But I agree that its not the ideal instrument for ITM.pancelticpiper wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 4:42 pm Not sure what Fred Morrison meant there.
Any species of bagpipe has good tuning if you play it in tune. I don't think any species of bagpipe is inherently more in tune than any other.
It takes a chanter that's made right, reeded properly, and played well.
Border pipes are far from ideal for ITM. Their range is too limited and they're much louder than a typical uilleann chanter.
The video for anyone interested

This says reelpipes but I thought reelpipe and bp are interchangeable names.
