Piper's Dojo Audio Experience

Ever been told to ‘blow tone’? What if that familiar advice is actually leading you astray?    Of course, steadiness matters—but before you can maintain steady blowing, you need to know what you're aiming for. For pipers, that target is the sweet spot—the pressure that produces the best tonal quality. Without it, steadiness won’t help you sound better.   In this episode, Andrew and Jim break down why tonal quality comes first, how to find your sweet spot, and why steady blowing naturally follows when you get it right.   Got a question or topic you’d like us to cover in a future episode?
