Uilleann Pipes - 3 Chanters, 3 Pitches, 1 reed

What is the name of the first tune?

@saskjoe1968

It's Sonny's Mazurka

I love how he references the weather condition... a frustration only a seasoned piper can appreciate

[Communitis]

Not to put down your hard work; but it sounds sharp in the B chanter. In my opinion it would be best to make a reed to suit its particular dimensions. But it's not so bad that it isn't passable; it's a good show, and I think it soundly demonstrates that it's possible to standardize reeds for certain makes of chanters, which would be a very positive thing for the flat-piping world. After all; custom flat-chanter reeds are incredibly expensive, and there's no going around customs for many sets.

How about in a D chanter? To much of a stretch?

[ausdag]

Yeah, the D chanter is a much different bore and thus requires a very different design of reed. Cheers...

Very good! Are you going to let us in on the secret then?

[ausdag]

Yeah, I will eventually. I want to do a little more tweaking first. :-)

Hi Dave

Very clever! I'll have to chat to you more about how you did it next time I come up to Brissie!

Good job on the reed Aussie!

[ausdag]

Thanks Ghleannadubh...still a work in progress but quite satisfying to date :-)

fantastic!! My friend plays a Brad Angus full set in B. The reeds are one size fits all for the regs and chanter

[ausdag]

Thanks Pipewatcher....interesting about the Angus sets..cheers..
