"The taorluath, which is a Gaelic word that is spelled t-a-o-r-l-u-a-t-h, is a movement that puts four notes in between two notes on the bagpipe chanter. So, it's a grip plus one E grace note ending always on A. That's the grip, this is the taorluath. So you're playing the grip, you're playing the E grace note and dropping it back down to A. So from other notes on the scale, it sounds like this. And that's another little trick on D. You have to play it with a B grace note instead of a D grace note."
