Check out my newest music video! This is a set of tunes in D on my set of Shepherd Smallpipes. Just in time for the holidays, this video promotes the launch of my new CD called "ASPIRATIONS" coming out Januray 11th. The tunes are:
Slow air - Moh Ghile Mear (My Gallant Hero) trad.
Jig - Chasing the Storm - Griffin Hall
Jig - Jig of Slurs trad.
Reel - St.Joseph's Reel trad.
The smallpipes are in A, but the drones are playing A/D so I played only tunes in "D". A BIG thank you to "KOSMIC CITY PICTURES" for filming the footage! Hope you enjoy the playing.

love your arrangements and especially like Chasing the Storm. Surprised you choose to play mouthblown small pipes. Bellows-blown are so much nicer.

@@LukeHarves Ah, my bad. While I very much appreciate pipes, I do not know all tunes, sadly. Far too much songs out there to hear them all, let alone know... ;) Thank you for that information. I heard it few times over, and I can't say, it sounds Irish... now, do not get me wrong, please, I do NOT say, it isn't Irish!!!! It just has a real Scottish "feel"... Normally, I can tell both apart rather well, whether played on "normal" or other pipes. Here then... I made a "serious mistake" (well, I do not really believe in "races, we're all human, but you get my point...). Strange... I can't get over it... Note, I am autistic (Aspergers)...

Debra P I play the Two Droned Irish Warpipes, which are the forerunner to the Highland Pipes. I do a lot of weddings, funerals, commemorative events etc. and just like the Scottish pipes, they are a very emotive instrument. Example from a 1916 Commemorative event I did can be found at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o6ibbLSrnN3GaY0.html Also on my Channel called Sandymount Heritage.

@ianwerner2065 Жыл бұрын

Very nice. It's nice when you can also get a friend to film you, something I should seriously consider if I ever make another video. Although I mainly listen to your videos while at work, it's nice to take a break and take in the choreography as well. I have obviously lived under a rock for the last several years because this video is not new, yet it's new for me. Very smooth and even tone, indicators that you're blowing is very steady too. Question: are you using any moisture control system in those mouth blown shepherds? Blackwood drones and chanter with plastic reeds? I've got one of their mouth blown sets, in D, and I was wondering if you've ever switched to a zippered bag with an MCS in there, or if you find it's necessary. Thanks for you response! ♪⁠～⁠(⁠´⁠ε⁠｀⁠ ⁠)

@griffinthepiper Жыл бұрын

Hi Ian. No moisture control used here with the pipes. They usually stabilize well with the plastic reeds after 10 minutes of playing. Synthetic bag as well. Glad to hear you enjoyed it and hope to see videos from yourself coming soon.

I bought a set of Shepherd in D and could not play them. The chanter was arranged very oddly, the lowest note was too far down to reach with my finger. not sure why anyone would design bagpipes in such a weird way....
