Its not a case of anti scottishness at all, the GHB is a very loud instrument and just because someone is a Scot doesnt mean they want to listen to bagpipes being played all the time. it is a little irrisposible of this young man to practice outside and, most pipers use a practice chanter at home and full pipes at band practice. as for "quiet pipes"? i can only guess that they mean a goose, which is still quite loud.

"I love pipeing and not being able to practice at home is very frustrating" -does he no have a practice chater?.

I love to play my electric guitar through my Marshall stack but I wouldnt dream of plaing it in the house it would be very inconsiderate.
