Re: Pictures of Your Pipes

Uilliam, having no experience myself posting clips, (for fear of scaring decent folk away), I can only direct you to the posting instructions for the clips tune archive here: http://www.tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/#postyours

Sorry, not much help I'm afraid.

Re: Pictures of Your Pipes

Uilliam, truly an elegant set of pipes. Hope to here a clip or two when you get time.

Re: Pictures of Your Pipes

Great! I've a half-set from Bill in C#. Can't say I do justice to the set yet, but I'm working on it... :)

Re: Pictures of Your Pipes

Lovely set Uilliam! Would that be Bill Haneman's work?

Re: What makes a good slow air ?

Being in the shallow end of the piping pool and not much on music theory, I've heard and I believe it to be true, that you can do a much better job interpreting the air if you know what it's about in the first place, so do the research.

My two cents, brief and uninteresting as it may be.

Re: Maurice Coyne

I've got to second Uilliam on that one, my Haneman C# half-set is patterned "after Coyne".

Cheers to Coyne, to Bill for keeping the tradition going, and to Uilliam for the reminder!

Re: Strings at Irish Sessions: 3 Videos!

Very nice work there!

Dulcimer looks like a Dusty Strings? I've got a chromatic by Bill Webster.

Uilliam,

Is there any history behind that claymore you're toting there?

Inspiration tune (at great personal risk to myself)...Caoineadh Cú Chulainn :tomato:
