All through this theres a movement called an edre. Anyone know exactly how to do one? Need it for the homewrecker and cant find it anywhere on the internet!
practice it slow and consistent, and then if you bring it up to speed it will sound nice..
I think what you were hearing in this video were crunluaths, which is sort of a grip and then an edre... but don't go by simply that understanding to learn it..
spent two hours with him today in the cold outside tescos in oban with his oban high school pipe band fundraising for next years circuit dedication and support for the young folk of Argyll doesnt begin to describe his committment ,total class act
@TheCampbell agreed. i actually got to study with him for a couple weeks about ten years back. i've never heard anyone with the same amazing control and tone and crisp fingers.
Isn't it a bit weird how when he plays piobaireachd he is pitched somewhere in the 480 Hz range, but when he's playing the jig, he's about 7-8Hz flatter?
Strong forearms, a good spread across the palms, a good sense of rythm, and staying off the bottle, and you're up and away...oh and about 10yrs of almost daily practice, and God willing, you might just make the grade!
he was born to play pipes, huge nostrils assures the bellows....watching him play with sweat running down his cheeks is enough to make any man kneel.....as he lashes out marches. jigs and quadrilles...
he definately wouldnt have dunbars 1)the plasics pipes are just terrible and 2)professionals like him wouldnt use dunbars most of them are using Lawries , Hardies, and Hendersons and some other brands but thats just to name a few
Dude, look at the ivory. those are obviously old as hell. A piper as famous as him probably has heirloom pipes meaning that are decades old. Either that or he just had custom pipes for him with the expensive 15,000 mammoth ivory from russia.
His sounds has a magical quality to it and his crunluaths are smooth. Sounds great! One of the reasons why I like Pibroch music and I enjoy playing it. I wish there was more pibroch on youtube.
The chanter seems to be a David Naill judging from the button at the top,(the higher pitch ecplains why his tenor drone tops are high. the rest of the pipes are a mixture of old and new
Hey there Lezzaz, I'm not sure of names of this bunch of reels, but they are a set Gordon Duncan used to play. Check out any recordings by Gordon Duncan and check the liner notes. You will find the names there. Cheers.
I think this is from "Just For Seamus" and "Break Yer Bass Drone" from the "Just For Seamus" set on the CD of the same name (the first tune in that set is "The Thin Man" but I don't think its played here - mind you I haven't listened to the original for a while so I might be wrong. Hope that helps anyway.
I'm Brazilian and my ancestors were people from Spain and Germany.... But this scottish sound evokes many emotions for me, like if were an ancestral sound for me.... It's hard to explain.... but is a wonderful feeling!
Thank you a lot for sharing this vídeo and Merry Christmas! :)
Do you know which part of Spain your ancestors were from, because there are two Celtic regions in Spain, Asturia and Galicia, and both those regions play their own type of bagpipe.
Once upon a time bagpipes were played all over Europe; they survive best in hilly places and remote corners, and best of all in Highland Scotland. Nothing quite like the great Highland battle-pipes.

@MrHoohoodragon The piobaireachd was indoor, the jig was outdoor: I imagine that is partly responsible for the difference.
