Emulating bagpipes.

[bassbuff1980]

The song is Caoineadh Cu Chulainn, an Irish lament made famous by Davy Spillane and others on the show riverdance. Normally it's played on the Uilleann Pipes

I'm sorry I don't know the title. It's from a radio recording. I think it could be from a group "lords of the dance" or similar, but I'm not sure. Hey, I want to see your bagpipes. When a video about that?

Nice job. Pretty melody. Try some old-time fiddlin' - then you can add all the sqeeks and double-stops you want! ;-)

Thanks for watching.

I'm so novice that even I'm not sure what old-time fiddling is exactly. I have a lot to learning ! :)

very nice my friend!

[Linuxica]

Than you my friend. :)

Very very beautiful melody. Sometimes fiddlers wishing to emulate bagpipes they play double strings with the adjacent open string to evoke the sound of the drone (someone thinks this is also helpful to stay in tune)You could try and decide if you like the result.

Thanks four your kind comment and your advice. I try it, though I'm not skilled on playing double stops.

By the way, very interesting videos those you've uploaded, I like them a lot.
