Boxty Band performance in KMO, Budapest

[madpixie02]

Nice set of tunes.

Pipes in A and fiddle. Love it.

How does the sound level compare to the fiddle live ?

Can you do C nat and F nat with cross-fingering on this chanter ?

[nemethmik]

The pipes dominate the sound but the fiddle blends beautifully. IMHO, the perfect combination, unless you prefer a fiddle dominated sound.

Fingering C and my MacLellan chanters is great. F is acceptable. No G#, though.

[baahsten7]

do you have cd's I play the pipes & this music is different than I've ever heard. Fire 'em up!

[nemethmik]

No, we have no CD. We are an occasional family band. These tunes are regular Scottish piping tunes played without the usual piping competition ornamentations.

[velopirate]

Very nice. Roddy MacLellan makes some of the most beautiful pipes in the world (both aurally and visually).

[bagpiper2005]

Are those pipes specifically designed at that pitch? Or do you have a MacLellan A440 chanter w/drone extenders or what?

[nemethmik]

Yes, this is a MacLellan three-quarter (3/4) set with dron extenders and with a 3/4-size chanter that is specifically desidned for A440 and available from Roddy MacLellan (USA).

[nemethmik]

Pipes that are tuned to an A base note with 440 Hz (today's concert pitch A). As opposed to Great Highland Pipes where A is tuned to around somewhere between 470 and 482 Hz.

[Brizbags]

what kind of pipes are those..A440, whats that?

[rafikibubu]

Good to see more highland pipes in A440 out there... too rare and too wonderful. Nice set!

[fabiovetro]

Molto bello, bravi, che bello vedere una famiglia dove si suona tutti insieme!

All my compliments.
