continuous sound Explanation: It just means keep playing without stopping. "The bag is an airtight reservoir which can hold air and regulate its flow while the player breathes or pumps with a bellows, enabling the player to maintain continuous sound for some time." Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagpipes |

continuous playing Explanation: This wind instrument has an air reservoir which allows continuous playing. You can achieve a similar sound and appearance by sticking a cat under your arm and chewing on its tail :) |

an uninterrupted flow of sound Explanation: And the very mechanism has always fascinated me, the way they can produce an uninterrupted flow of sound, very difficult to achieve on wind instruments without mastering the technique of circular breathing. http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boa... |
