The Eagle's whistle

This tune I learned from uilleannaddict... It's funny, because every time I want to record something, there's something wrong (for example the microphone, or someone talking) and in this case it was my drones nearly slipping out of the tube which connects them to the bag... and of course all the beeps that were coming out of the chanter that weren't supposed to be there --

Maith thu, a ghraidh. You're doing very well for a beginner with no tuition, but you seriously need to slow down, and get some tuition from an able tutor. Try to get to oneof the Willy Clancy schools or some such.

Also, listen carefully to the great pipers (such as O Floinn). Learning some Irish can also be a help, as every music is driven by its language.

There is also a program that would be useful called Amazing X CD Slowdowner from Roni.

I wish you luck!

@celt1745 Thank you for your respons. Could you however please consider that this video is recorded three years ago? I'll make sure to update a new recording soon and get rid of this stuff then ;) take care!

Slow down a bit. But absolutely amazing for self taught. For the stock use waxed hemp. You can get it in most fishing shops or from na píobairí uilleann at pipers.ie

Btw is this that English girl from milltown malbay 2011? The 1 with the 1 pound stuck on her d key on the baritone reg? Hi.

Wow! You're totally self-taught? That's incredible! As to the drones slipping out of the stock---and forgive my ignorance; I'm a Scottish piper---can you use hemp twine around the drone boss where it inserts into the stock in order to give you a tighter fit? I'm impressed at any rate. Very nicely done! No one would know you're self-taught from listening to you.
