Chieftains - Dueling Chanters

[nickyjiver]

Superb!!!

[caradamata]

That sounds like Carlos Nuñez on the Gallician bagpipes. Impeccable.

[Germungus]

Outstanding music. All this bashing about who invented what is rather boring, Just enjoy our cutural and musical heritage and the music most of all.

@skooterkid - "Please tell me who invented the bagpipes?"

The blown reed is one of the basic means of making music. From there, ingenuity adds refinements to increase range and control. One of them is an air reservoir, originally fed by blowing, then by bellows (as in the Uilleann pipes). It's extremely unlikely that there is any single origin. Many cultures have produced a version of the pipes. Multiple reeds and many variants of the accordion or harmonium are another line of development.

@Thuglordrpt Very Cool!!! :)

[akithered]

What's the place in the picture? :O

[John27346]

@akithered Looks like the Killarney mountains.

[akithered]

@John27346 Thanks!!

[ThePeacefulArtist]

@capekirano Bagpipes are originally Scottish not Irish!

[thewindthatshakesbar]

@ThePeacefulArtist False, people always think of the great highland bagpipe when it's about bagpipes, but it doesn't mean the scots invented it. There are different kind of bagpipes in ever celtic nation. This is not a scottish folk song.

[MsOneiroi77]

@thewindthatshakesbar actually the scots did invent the Great Highland bagpipe it belongs to a family of instruments that are bagpipes. That family afterall is a very diverse group with thousands of types of bagpipe. The scots dont claim to have invented "THE" bagpipe just the pipes they developed one of which is the best known in the world and widespread.

@ThePeacefulArtist

No Celtic people had anything to do with the invention of bagpipe instruments. They were played before Scotland was Scotland and Ireland was Ireland. The Scots took the idea and made a few of their own. The Irish did the same.

@skooterkid - Please tell me who invented the bagpipes?

[Thuglordrpt]

@ThePeacefulArtist we have uilleann pipes, they predate bagpipes.

[Kelticgirl1]

@ThePeacefulArtist - According to historians - the bagpipes were invented by the ancient people known as the Hittites.

[capekirano]

[sharpie660]

[seeester8]

This is Carlos Nunez dueling it out with The Chieftains on 'The Road To Santiago'. Carlos holds his own very well I think. :)

[seeester8]

This is Carlos Nunez dueling it out with The Chieftains. :) And yes, from 'Santiago'.

[johnsylliboy]

This is a brilliant use of the pipes done by the Chieftains.

[MrBackdoorable]

[IrishChannel1]

Beautiful .

[lokna]

@IrishChannel1 thanks so are you:)

[meastro7867]

this song is so awesome!!! I like the part where all the instruments come in! :)

[Leliannan]

Uilleann pipes, I think.

[KE5HOB]

I thought the same thing. The tonal range shows that it is not bagpipes.

[seonidh]

Sounds like a Galician pipe and a Union pipe?

[meastro7867]

They are a Galician pipe and a Uilleann pipe!

[seonidh]

Union pipes are Uilleann pipes

[MRASIANAIRE]

good old song.

[myale87]
