Playford on pipe and tabor

[mayhillgurdy]

thanks for that info - shall investigate

[MoonkissedWolf]

Oh wow! I was looking through a list of Medieval and Renaissance Instruments and came across this one.. By far one of the best sounding, but it appears too complicated for me! Haha!

Lovely music!

[Birdsong16]

Delightful!

[mayhillgurdy]

It is a tabor,  played in Europe for centuries. It has two skins and a snare and is played with one drumstick on the snare side . A bodhran is a relatively modern invention and only has one skin, no snare, and is played with a short double headed beater.

[tommyroyall]

Isn't that a bodhran, not a tabor?

[Akosuaification]

That was awesome...my first time seeing someone play the pipe and tabor. Great job!

[superfebs]

Very nice performance. Clean, in tune, and very well rhythm-ed.

(By the way, I would love to learn to play the pipe and tabor but my neighbors would kill me).

[LutzDerLurch]

This tune sounds very similar to the "lillibulero" tune.

[mayhillgurdy]

Maybe because both come from Playford's Dancing Master - Grimstock is in the first edition of 1651 and LilliBurlero is in the eighth edition of 1690

@mayhillgurdy Nearly nobody knows that there is a fine version of Grimstock for 4 (instrumental) voices in Michael Praetorius´TERPSICHORE, #154, printed Wolfenbüttel 1612, and thus 40 years older than Playford !

Wonderful!!!!!!

[CasiodorodelaTeja]

Great!! Grimstock is the name rigth? really i love that theme, you play with grat passion and sensibilität!! Ich finde es Super!!!

[mayhillgurdy]

Thanks for your comment. Yes Grimstock is the name of the tune. John Playford published it in a collection of dance tunes in the 17th century. I really enjoy playing it and lots of his other tunes.

Your playing is crisp on both the tabor and the pipe. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[likeitout]

Which tabor pipe are you playing?

[mayhillgurdy]

the tabor pipe in D was made by Mark Binns in West Australia, from a wood known there as "camel poison" !! the tabor was made by Marcus Music, at Tredegar, South Wales.

[likeitout]

Thank you very much. I've been after a decent quality one for so long and they're so hard to come by. Is it in the baroque style?

[unusualmusician]

Well done!

[mattwuk14]

Great stuff!

[juanmitatikieto]

Great performance, Gillian! I'm glad to hear you playing at The Nook.

All the Best!
