Description

What if better playing was as simple as turning the right knob? In this episode, Andrew and Jim turn up the dial on a piping metaphor you didn’t know you needed. They explore how every element of your piping – and life – is adjustable. Need more lift in your tune? Twist the tempo knob. Feeling too flashy? Ease off the complexity knob. Wondering why your pipes sound dull? Could be your moisture knob is overworked. So, whether your piping feels a bit... off, or you just love a good metaphor taken too far, this episode is your chance to grab hold of your own personal knobs and start turning with purpose.
