Summary
A discussion of the canntaireachd system.
Pipe Major William MacLean describes the canntaireachd system which older pipers used before pìobaireachd was written in staff notation. He himself was taught in this style by his father who was a native of Raasay. He discusses two canntaireachd publications: the Gesto and Nether Lorn Collections. He compares the two collections and gives a key to each system.
