The minor third hole is almost standard on french pipes (conical bore, double reeds) and on swedish bagpipes (parallell bore, single blade reeds). It is very useful. And as long you don't have any keys to control with the right hand thumb, I don't think is any extra job to cover a hole situated abou...

For swedish bagpipes people are split in two camps regarding what direction to cut the tongue, the peole who use Arundo Donax ususlly cut it towards the closed end, and the people who use native swedish reed usually cut it in the other direction. The advantage with cracking the tongue towards the cl...

I'm also very pleased with my IRiver H120, it works exellent. It has really great battery time. The only bad thing is that you have no control of the recording level while recording, but since the s/n ratio is good, and the communication with computers is easy; it is not much work to add some compre...

For this kind of investigation where you want to investigate tis very subtle differences between stimuli, it would be suitable to perform a listening test of the type A-B-X where the participants where to answere which af sound A and B is the same instrument as sound X.

I don't play Irish pipes, but a swedish bagpipe with three d-drones, played with a bellows. I've started to use plasting tongue on a cane body, and they are working very nicely on my bass and baryton, except that i have had rush them to make them more silent. My tenor don't have the same nice crispy...

As not being an uilleann piper but thinking of learning it sometimes, this seems to be a good opportunity, but I wonder if people would recommend a left hand chanter for a right hand player. I play my swedish and french chanter in the "normal" way, but I have no experience of playing uille...

Hmm, then I've only made two mistakes so far, I cleaned the bore and didn't put in the plastic bag after playing , well, now i know better, thank you!

Hello, I havn't introduced me here, my name is Anders, living in Sweden, playing Swedish bagpipe and the fiddle, and working as a PhD student in acoustics. Yesterday I got a gift from a friend who have been travelling in China, a very nicly made Chinese bamboo flute, a "Dize" a 6-hole flut...

Swedish bagpipe is also with a straight bore (6mm), and with single reed in the chanter, so i guess it is one of the more simple bagpipes to make, but of course, you have to learn how to make and adjust the reeds..

Here is a picture of my set of pipes with retunable drones, currently with a french chanter i A , but with my swedish chanter in D/G next to it. I can use this bag and drones with my chanter in E/A as well. Note the plugs made of boxwood, . If I remove parts of my bass-drone it can be tuned to G. ht...
