A lot of smallpipe makers will add a C natural key for a bit extra.Ian Kinnear is currently making me a set with an extra C natural key added for 60 quid.Wont be ready till the end of May though.....That first slow air is damn good.

@fannybaw7 He's sliding up from B and playing the half hole to get C nat.

16? He was already on then. So good. Sadly missed.

Thanks for posting this. I met Martyn once, briefly. A delightful man. Sadly missed. Bless him wherever he may be. What a brilliant piper.

stirring stuff indeed

He's wonderfully expressive on the pipes. Love it!

Hate to be pedantic with such stunning music and a tragic loss but the timeline doesn't look right. The concert these tracks came from was in 1995. At 16 Martyn would have been entrenched in studying classical violin.

Just checked the sleeve notes and you are right, concert was from 10th Nov 1995, don't know why I thought it was much earlier than that

Love that slow air, truly haunting stuff!
Anyone know who made his pipes? He seems to achieve a C Natural in the slow air, something smallpipes are usually not capable of producing...

Martyn played a set of Hamish Moore smallpipes
