To get the second octave E you can also try this:
Play the back D with the bottom two fingers of the right hand off the chanter. SMALL increase in pressure
Bang out the second octave E *With the Thumb*

Re: Ennis recording of The Rambling Pitchfork
Thanks, as always.
Can’t remember where I read of the Eamonn Ceannt /Black Raven connection. Maybe someone was mixing up Ceannt and Ashe?

Re: Ennis recording of The Rambling Pitchfork
Had a listen to the Lament for Thomas Ashe. Beautiful. Never heard anyone else play it, how about over there Peter? And anyone know anything more about it? Why does James O’Neill spring to mind? Round about the right time...

Re: E note in regs: Choose your option
Another option, which DMQ realized for me both in my flat set, and on a new baritone reg for my D set, is to have the D key have two positions: played with normal (de-)pression you get a D; push it a little harder and it opens an E key on the underside of the reg. See if this link works: https://www...

Re: lullaby
The "Suantraidhe Eirinneach" lullaby in O'Neill's was composed by James O'Neill, and it is quite nice on the pipes. If you play it in G it goes up to the top B, which is kind of annoying for a lullaby, but if you play it in D you have to fiddle with the ending, but it sounds lovely with th...

Another Ace and Deuce
This lovely setting of the Ace and Deuce popped up on FB, played by Tommy and Pádraig Keane. Does anyone have any clue where it came from? I'm familiar with the other two settings, but this is a new one for me.

Re: Any recomendations for old tune collections?
Goodman is a gas. I have 18 tunes and every one a corker. And everyone finds their own stuff: I played a tune for Mick O Brien at the tionol last month, and he had never heard it. That sort of a way.
ITMA does amazing work. Check out the Grier collection online too. Then send them some money.
