Scottish Barndance

[747man1]

Great stuff...you are the inspiration for me to start learning again after a long ( 40) year layoff...this is the first tune I am learning.... from your video...thanks for a great tune Ron

[derham285]

@747man1 Thanks for your kind comments and i do hope you get all the enjoyment I have out of taking it back up again. Good luck!

[derham285]

One or two more answers.

The tunes are 'The Directors' and 'Tam's Hunting Horn'

Sincere apologies to Poopingbotham who got me instead of Jimmy Shand:-)

Thank you Helen for your kind words.

Eugine boy!! Good to hear from you. Hope you are still drumming.

I've just discovered all these comments (You Tube uses Google Mail to alert and I had forgotten I had an account!!). I'll try to answer some here.

Hohner model is a Morino IVM from about 1956 ish. On this recording I use the new set of reed blocks created by John Carmichael for me which replaces the picollo reeds to make a 3 voice Scottish Musette.

I started playing when I was 5 but I was away from it for nearly 30 years when I played organ and keyboards.

The track on this video has 2nd box.

[ollydog69]

whats this tune call ?????????

[silverdalesapphires]

Nice Scots playing...now the 'interrogation'!

Which Hohner model is it?

Which coupler are you using?

As a 'beginner' I was wondering how long have you been playing?

Have you recorded a 'second box' ....you sound like a one-man SDB (a compliment!)

Thanks a lot !
