My ear was trained long before I started piping. I've never developed a liking for the flat high A - especially when a solo piper is playing a slow tune with a flat high A.

Yet, when there are two or more pipers playing together, it seems to me that when they're tuned to a flat high A, the beat frequency(ies) between the high A's are masked. Has anyone else noticed this? I suspect that this is the reason for flattening the high A.

On a related note, my War-Mac chanter with a Warnock reed sounds a flat high A with all other notes in tune (to my ear). I wonder if this is by design.
