3 MORE RENAISSANCE PIPES by SEAN FOLSOM

A follow-up to my previous video "Four Renaissance Bagpipes" This one features my self-made Pibgorn Hornpipe (1979). A Gaita Galega (Taller Represas) from N.W. Spain, and a "Germanic" Dudelsack, In the 1500s it was played in the Netherlands, Flanders, the German states, and all the way East to Vienna, Austria.
The Drones and Stocks by Victor Nerinckx, the Chanter by Bob Thomas. I've been playing this Bagpipe since 1978.
So much fun !!!
My clothes are typical for a middle class Flemish Wool Merchant, circa 1540. The Shirt, Smock, Hat, etc. by Sharon Devlin Folsom in 1992.

I'm glad you liked the tunes and my instruments Mr Azwags.

I have 2 Asturian Chanters by 2 different makers in Xixon that will show the similarities and differences of these 2 adjacent Gaita traditions.

I hope to have this "Up" on You Tube before long.

The Classic 1970s Rubber Bag on my Repressas Gaita and my Clothing

militate against a more vertical position of the Drone.

By the way, usually the bag of either the Galician or Asturian gaita would be positioned so that the drones are less horizontal than you show here. That would bring the blow pipe closer to your lips, which would make it easier to play. But there is some variation with the Galician pipes and some forms the drone is nearly horizontal. I think the set up of the stocks in the bag would determine the position.

That's an interesting collection of pipes and some neat tunes, Sean.

The gaita galega and gaita asturiana gaitas probably had a common heritage, but are today very different in significant ways. They sound different, are constructed differently, have different fingering patterns, and use different kinds of ornamentation.
