One last piece of advice/opinion: do not under any circumstances allow boiled linseed oil inside your bore, unless you want to make a lamp or something. That got me wondering about the warning on a bottle of linseed oil that reads, DANGER may spontaneously combust. Maybe thats why the bit of wood I...

My regs are in the position that the second column of keys (BGB) are under where my wrist sits. I want the 3rd column (A,F#,A) to be under my wrist normally. Should I in future tie the mainstock higher up or lower down vertically on the bag to facilitate this? I've tried a shoulder strap and the Elv...

You do have the chanter off the leg for bottom D don't you?

looks more like half an innertube off a tyre, wonder if that would work for bellows

Surely you mean Back D ( middle D) I only know one tune in 100 that I can play a High D and ornamentation is is not even a thought, it is too easy to lose the octave.

I've been asked to play Uilleann pipes at a wedding, piping the bride as she walks out the church. Anyone have any suitable suggestions of tunes that might be appropriate? Must be able to walk to it.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

was it a fox hat?

I've posted an MP3 of Ceol Mor on the Uilleann pipe on the other forum under the post your tunes thread.

In my small experience of willie clancy week and tionols, we spend an hour learning to learn new tunes by ear then forget it an hour later; However I did get to an event where David Quinn taught the class and we knew the tunes before hand that we would be working on. I learnt a lot in that class on ...

I occasionally play piobaireachd on the uilleann pipes. Just pick a great melody piece with no low G's ( ghb low g's) such as MacKintosh's lament or The Old Woman's lullaby. Forget highland fingering do yer own thing, play crans of various lengths in place of treblings, taorluaths and crunluaths.. I...

No E wrote:CDs? so passé. The last three I listened to on my mp3 player:

Convenient but not the same sound quality perhaps. MP3's are compressed CD's

I would just never dream of setting my pipes on a seat for someone to crush, Well its either the chair or the floor and so I think the pipes are safer on the chair unless I could squeeze them on the table perhaps. I have this theory that people who pack there pipes away in a box don't practice half...

I was just scratching my head and looking at my reedmaking table a little while ago thinking this is getting ridiculous; that drawer needs to close.
Do I have the messiest table in chiffendom?

Well I don't know that my experiments can be classed under NORMAL concert pitch chanters, but I tried cutting off 5mm from a couple of useless maple mistakes I had lying around. In both cases I found that without moving the reed from when the cut was made that the first octave rose in pitch and the ...
