Pibau Cyrn ( Welsh bagpipe/ hornpipe)

[OldSnoopHoop]

we the welsh need to make these pipes more famous! this is our culture pobol!

[3tangle3]

@OldSnoopHoop the old pre-invasion tunes indeed!

[Lulek93]

Where can I buy those bagpipes? Who make it?

[slyfusion]

This looks fantastic. Do you have a website with price listings, options, etc?

[youngestputnam]

Are these pipes still for sale? If so, how much are you charging?

[TheSchizopodcaster]

Rhaidd i ddysgu!

I must learn!

[raonipaes]

Amazing, the sound of this bagpipe resembles slavonic bagpipes... even the Sackpipa comes to my mind while I hear it.

Is the first tune an An Dro?

[irateofwatford]

Nice pipes. Who was the maker? And do you find that using bellows keeps the reed from flattening inconveniently at the six-finger note?

[CaradocMorDellOboe]

Cymru ar byth!!!!

[Awenek]

I would be interested in buying a set very soon! Excellent!

[HonorableReynard]

Cymru yn byw hir!

[Beezerjuice]

This is the first time hearing the Welsh pipes. I love it.

[offitcock]

awesome, lovely sound how long did it take you to make/practice them

[owainyebastards]

sounds pretty loud for a small thing. or is that my volume?

[pibgorn69]

This little pipe does have a really good volume. Much more so than I would have expected before I built it. The bore is about 3/4 inch and I made the reed harder because I am used to playing GHB with higher pressure...so I think that helps with the volume. Also I thined down the horn as much as possible to allow it to resonate better, I think this contributes greatly to the volume in the lower register as well.

[NDNPolice]

@owainyebastards Fantastic instrument. Owen here.

[yscolan]

lovely - hyfryd iawn. how lovely to hear the tunes played by someone i don't know!

[yscolan]

i forgot to say what a lovely tone you have on them too. 'pibe megin' bellows pipes were called in glamorganshire in the early ninteenth century

[pibgorn69]

Thanks for the info. I never heard of that before...I assumed I was just doing something silly that hadn't been done lol. I need to rename this vid :)

[pibgorn69]

Thank you :) I have never heard these pipes in real life until I built my first pibgorn. Using river cane reeds (unstable in the presence of high moisture) led me to make a bellows blown set. I'm probably playing these tunes wrong...but It's what I could find i sheet music form :)

Thanks for the nice comments :)

[danielshacalis]

Lovely made set! Really excellent job.

[Mattexmo]

Beautiful!

[Will170392]

I love this! im welsh but never knew of this pipe

were they originally mouth blown? do you use a lathe to make the drone?

[pibgorn69]

Yes, I think they were originally mouth blown. Actually from what I've read on them, there have been only the pibgorn (hornpipe with no bag and no drone) found. This isn't to say that they did not exist...their just aren't any historical specimens as far as I know. Yscolan said that in glamorganshire bellows blown pipes were known as pibe megin...this leads me to believe that I am not an innovater :)

[0SgtRoadkill0]

who is up for some bog snorkling to try and find more evidence?

[mush1955]

Lovely init. Makes me think of my mountains far away !

[fagottist]

it's sounds a little like god rest ye merry gentelmen

[seanthepiper]

Hi Chadd, Longtime, no Emails ! Are you still stationed in Korea ? I see you have made good progress on your Pibgorn (+Bag&Bellows)!

I still think Elder is the way to go.

If you need any I have it growing at my house here in Carmel Valley I'll trade some for a Hwang Piri, I think that's one of the larger sizes ? Good Work ! I'm glad to see you kept at it ! Your Correspondent, Sean Folsom

[seanthepiper]

Hey Chadd !!! Long time no Emails,are you still stationed in Korea ?

I see you've made great progress on Pibgorns !

I still think Elder is better for the Body of it (and the Reed). The "Pits & Valleys" created by knocking out the Pith, modifies

the tone to something toward the "easy listening" side of the "scale".

If you need some Elder, I have it growing

on the side of my Cabin, here in Carmel Valley. I'll trade it to you for a larger size Korean (Hwang ?)Piri.

[Jemtheflute]

Da iawn - ardderchog! Great stuff!

[CharlieRutan]
