  • Close. The tenor and tenor are tuned to C# and the bass to F#. (sorry if this is what you meant...) I'm not quite sure how Mikie tunes them like this- usually this is not possible- he seemed to give a kind of jerk to the bag. He also said that they are unique in being to do this. Also could the person who filmed this put up more please?? I saw you filming it!

  • It is Mikie Smyth, playing his Geoff Woof C# set.

  • @jStevieO Geoff Weoff C# set and the artist is Mikie Smyth

  • @pekerdalton this set cost him 7000 pounds in 1997 his D set came to 14000

  • Far fekkin out. Shoot the keyboard player.

  • By forcing extra air into the drones it pushes the bass drone into the harmonic 4th that is the F# or C#. This happened by accident when he was messing around with the pipes. This ultimately changes the whole dynamic of his playing by adding an extra harmonic. Also Mick O Brien has a fourth drone in tenor A on this concert D set which acts similarly.

  • looks /sounds like a Rogge / Horstman set C or even B flat ,could be wrong though ....artist gan anim ,but great !

  • Mighty!!

  • they go for about 6 grand these day,s in euro
