Technique Week: Day 4: Power D Throws
⚡ The Short Version
D throws are one of the first embellishments most pipers learn and very common in tunes. They're played from any note and always end on D, with variations in how they're executed.
Two styles exist: light (open) and heavy (closed), each with slightly different fingering and sound. Your preference and initial training determine which style you use, though both are correct.
