"The Hick Mick" - A New Composition for Shuttle Pipes

[LiftedElephant]

hey can some1 please elaborate on all the diff types of bagpipes....(i.e. highland,small,shuttle and uillea pipes).....that be really awsome of everybody!!!

[alphaCB]

@LiftedElephant - Highland or Great Highland Bagpipes are the usual ones you will see, pipe bands use these. Small pipes come in many forms, many are blown with bellows. Shuttle pipes are like these in this video. And Uillean pipes are Irish bellow blown smallpipes that create a unique sound, I know all use the same fingering apart from the Uillean pipes i'm not sure about...

It is not often I come across a new tune that just make the hairs on my neck stand up. This one does just that!!!!! That is flippin' amazing - well done!!!

I'm waiting on a set of Fred Morrison reelpipes - any chance of the sheet music for your tune and I'll christen them with it :D

By the way, you need a web site. This is insane playing.

Greetings!! I just had my first solo comp last week: Senior Novice--I played High Road. Some day, I hope to play your stuff. Again, nice birls!! Have you given a copy of the tune to Bruce or Adrian?

[thehickmick]

WELL DONE YOU!!! You place? Copies have gone to both, and to Jori Chisolm as well. Hope they are playin it! Thanks for listening! Cheers!

[mischieftech]

You're tunes are awesome! You should compile an mp3 collection of your tunes, i would totally listen to them!

[thehickmick]

Cheers man! If I can settle down a bit from all this solo comp obsession then I would do that and put up some new vidies. Got some more new tunes to share. Maybe soon! Cheers!

This is one of the neatest arrangements on pipes i've heard, what key are your pipes in?

[thehickmick]

THANKS!!! They are pitched at concert A ... or close thereto.

[piobrach]

[181068181068]

love the tune , great playing . Im thinking of getting a set of shuttle pipes . Why do you like them and do you prefur them to scots smallpipes or not .

[thehickmick]

Cheers man! Thanks! I don't have that much experience with bellows-blown pipes, but I am VERY happy with the shuttles. I did change out my bag from Canmore to leather, but the instrument itself is awesome. You would enjoy them.
