2 reels on the uilleann pipes

[MrJohnered]

Nice

[because88]

How come I sometimes can't hear a drone on some uilleann pipes videos and sometimes I can? (btw, I've watched about 15 videos so far and this is one of my favourites)

[Amkii]

Maybe in some of the videos they haven't turned the drones on.

[boxplayer2]

uilleann pipers have the option to turn the drones off if they want (idk y they would want 2 though)

[theheuft]

@because88 Probably because they have the drones turned off

[clinpsydoc]

interesting popping strap

[Gr8CelticMystic]

Just beautiful! Keep up the good work!

[bananaking78]

god bless u,,you make great music,,,touching people,,,souls..

[Ross1Gribbo]

Ur 'D' finger is a bit scwint but keep it up ur playing is really good

[clachnastrone]

errrm....on the uilleann pipes, D is played with the left thumb, not by any of the fingers....so I suspect you don't actually play the uilleann pipes, lol ;-)

[uilleann86]

But but... I play the back D with my right thumb. ;)

[Lennyou812]

this sounds lovely, but to spend $5000-$7000 to sound lovely is more than I can afford I'm afraid! lol! You need to tighten the reed bridle a bit I think..

[tyrelroo]

I play the bassoon! I don't want to hear any complaining about the cost of instruments. ;P

[Lennyou812]

umm, a Bassoon costs about half of the price of a good set of Uilleanns

[tyrelroo]

Mine was $8,600 and is considered an intermediate instrument. They go all the way up to $50,000. :P

[Lennyou812]

wow, you got jipped! I have sen them in Mars music for about $2900

[tyrelroo]

You get what you pay for, really, and it really depends on who makes them. The cheap bassoons by Lark that you see on eBay a lot are terrible and like to do things like fall apart... The least you can expect to pay for a bassoon that's actually worth playing is around $4000.

I actually once got to try a B.H. Bell, which is a $32,000 instrument, and believe me; I would have gladly payed every penny of that. It was that good.

[clachnastrone]

Hi Lennyou812: The reed bridle was fine. The sound recording on the video camera perhaps was not!

[JSCWhistler]

I can guess where he must've learned this version of road to lisdoonvarna from. Sounds about like the way Paddy Moloney plays it.

[Baltizori]

Conert pitch D? or is it B, Bb, C or maybe C#?

[Lchsloy92]

Sounds like D to me, but what do I know? :P

[Baltizori]

Just noticed that it says that it's in the pitch of D right in the beginning of the clip :P

[Lchsloy92]

oh, ya. duh :P

[Rouha]

Great.. thanks !!

[cheapy2006]

i haven't a musical bone in my body, but if i could play anything it'd be the pipes

[Ainekenaz]

GReat! And what reels are these :-) ??

[Ainekenaz]

Ohw wait, I see the names at the end :P

[celticmarine1]

First one sounds like Road to Lisdoonvarna played as a reel. Not sure about the second.

[celticmarine1]

Oops! They're at the end of the clip.  Second is Tomeen O'Dea's.

[parkerisking]

road to lisdoonvarna ia a reel anyway so wat u mean played as a reel?

[celticmarine1]

I, as well as others, also play is as a slip jig. Sounds great both ways.

[celticmarine1]

It can be played as a slip jig as well. It sounds great both ways, depending on how you feel that day:)

[JSCWhistler]

A slip jig? I know it as a slide >_>...

[agricolae101]

[plantevedra]
