Cut the short notes, even in slow tunes The dot-cut rhythm is what makes bagpipe music sound alive. Keep those short notes short whether the tune is a fast march or something as slow as The Dark Island.
Size your embellishments to fit the tune's flow taorluaths and grips need a goldilocks size: open enough to hear clearly, tight enough that they don't steal time from the notes around them.
Blow steady and let the reed do the tuning Chasing a flat note by pushing more air throws off your drones and starts a fight you can't win. Keep your pressure rock steady and tune with the reed, tape, or tuner instead.
