Share my excitement with unboxing a famous set of Uilleann Pipes made by the Taylor Brothers in the 1880s. The set has mostly been associated with Prof. John J. Cummings (1828-1919), and passed through a few hands, most recently Ted Anderson, my good friend Rick Lines, and now to me!

Great to read your post here in Galway especially that you're seeing to it that the piping is being passed on to your son. I loved hearing Miss McCleod of Rassay in Scotland being played so well here by this great piper.....at least I think that was the 2nd tune.

Thank you David, I was lucky enough to have the set mostly reeded by maestro Benedict Koehler, which certainly helps

Absolutely class. Soon as you said left handed I Touhey popped into my head would be cool if true. Great vid man

@sionrouse Жыл бұрын

Ah yes! It's wild that so many pipers around that era were left handed too. There is a lot of left handed Taylor stuff about. And I don't know if the story is true or where it originated from. Must do some investigating!

This set has at least a couple of super fans over here in Maine. I've based the aesthetics of a few sets of drones on this set. Rick Lines was kind enough to send close up photos of the bass turn around so I could make a copy of it. Seeing this video is so satisfying!

Drop me a line if you ever need any more pics/dimensions. Happy to help and glad the instrument is inspiring makers and players to this day. It’s certainly a very special set of pipes with a powerful sound

I remember them from when Ted had them. It's great to hear them going so well! Maith thú!

@sionrouse Жыл бұрын

Thanks you sir! They bear a striking resemblance to your D set I believe! I’m glad Ted looked after them over the years. It also helps when BK does the reeds for them too haha

@PDarcy Жыл бұрын

@@sionrouse yes, as far as I know David too some inspiration from the design. The silver rings around the bass regulator I think especially.

@sionrouse Жыл бұрын

They look great I’ve always admired the pics of your set on the website. Hopefully we’ll get a few tunes with them both some time. Incidentally, the Wooffers I have also belonged to Ted 🙈

@@sionrouse I thought they looked familiar. They have the E regulator right?

@sionrouse Жыл бұрын

Aye and the extra drone too. Lovely pipes :)

@bardicdad Жыл бұрын

O'Mealy's contrabass reg has a beefy sound on the bottom note, for sure.

Great! Have you taken any measurements of the double bore chanter? I'm guessing they're identical but I would love to see a plot of the bores against one another.

@sionrouse Жыл бұрын

Not that I know of, but David Quinn sells plans for this set if you’d like to make your own! I wonder if he has the double bore measured too?

@greenman4946 Жыл бұрын

Really fascinating! So are the contrabass regulator notes D, E and F#, or what are they?

@sionrouse Жыл бұрын

thats it exactly. The E is such a strange one to hear on the pipes. It can be a bit jarring but in the right setting it works well. And the lower D is just a great big fog horn, I love it!
