Czech-American bagpiper Michael Cwach and Czech violinist and folk dancer Alice Janatova brought their "Call of Dudy" tour to the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Sunday, January 6, 2008. The presentation included playing and singing traditional Czech folk songs, dance, and a presentation on the history of the Czech bagpipes. Also included was a screening of the documentary "Call of Dudy: Bohemian Bagpipes Across Borders." GazetteOnline video by Richard Pratt.
That was so beautiful that I had to watch it again...
Oh, by the way, my girlfriend is from an austrian family and the clothes this woman is using are very similar, not to say the same as austrian traditional clothes.

I would say The NSP is more closely related to the French Baroque Musette/SSP type pipes than it is to Bock/Dudy/Duda central Europe type pipes, but dont be fooled: these single reed chanters can be just as persnickety as double reeded ones!

Michael is getting a great sound from his simple single reed (clarinet type) chanter. Does anyone know why the Northumbrian chanters use double (oboe type)reeds ?
