All right Scot, knock off the funny business! You never mentioned he was an Open piper! LOL They can ring the HiA like a dinner bell with anything.
It all comes down to steady blowing, in my opinion. There is such a small sliver of the HiA that will bring out that ring. An open piper will find it and keep it, an amateur will find it, lose it, find it again, lose it...most times. But to me there is no shortcut, STEADY BLOWING. And in my experience, having played both hide and the Ross, I find that using more of a wet setup like hide allowed me to settle into that "ring zone" more reliably. Then again, it also depends on the chanter reeds.
