= sharp
A major = A B C# D E F# G#
A mixolydian = A B C# D E F# G (play drones in A)
A dorian = A B C D E F# G (play drones in A)
G major = A B C D E F# G (play drones in G)
D major = A B C# D E F# G (play drones in A)
B minor = A B C# D E F# G (play drones in B if playing with other instruments, but can stick with A for solo work)
Owjeh, thanks a lot!! I came from the Highland pipes and recently started playing the smallpipes. I have been joining a Irish session now for a few times. This makes it much easier to make some nice music. I was all the time fighting with my (A) dronesound. It actually makes sense know,... just switch them off if it's not in the right key.
You obviously took the time to read and re read my coment and covered everything... thankyou
Mine are walsh in d but to just picture it in a I'll get it , and another subscriber...🍻
You are cool!
Thanks for the tune book!!!
The depths will never be fully plummed... and these tunes seem to age like whisky. Thanks P!
You're welcome!
“I’m not really a music theorist…” I beg to differ…
Very nice! I have a combo set of smallpipes with 3 chanters (A, C, and D chanters all with 'C natural' hole and all with high 'G# and high B' keys) on which I can set the drones to many combinations of notes.
What make are the combination smallpipes that you have? I'm interested in buying a combination set myself.
That's quite the combo set, nice!
Love listening to you explain all this but... Wow! Way over my head. with I knew more.
Would you share your version of Condon's Frolics with me? Can't find a good one.
It's in the tune book linked in the video description.
Could you remind me of the first tune you played please?:)
Kesh Jig?
Plus, If I may ask for a tutorial video of the first tune in this video ua-cam.com/video/xoKwnvlkk90/v-deo.html
I appreciate your help last time and will be glad if you help out with this one. Thanks man!
Yes, the first tune is indeed Kesh Jig.
@@huthaifaabdulqader9107 I'll see what I can do. The name of the tune is the Winnipeg Forger and is the ending section of the suite by Don Bradford, "The Calm Before the Storm".
Patrick McLaurin I’d really appreciate the video, best of luck and thanks alot sir. Cheers!
We need to chat…
I assume you know how to reach me via email or similar? patrickmclaurin.com
Didnt sound all that bad... the mixolydian still tricked my ears
I have a set of walsh in peices and have only played ghb,s in A
Theres 3 diferent lengths of bottom drones and 3 diferent length tops .. you know your stuff where as I dont so I need to stupifie my question to get dummy answers
Dose the 2 longest go together for bass,,,2 shortest for a high tennor and 2 mediums for a middle tennor ??? Or is there some mix up in tops and bottoms ?
And dose all 3 tune to the same note, c,g,a ....or dose each drone tune to a different key?
You changed yours so I'm thinking you have a set that's multi key , or is it just intonation you go on?
If each drone is two pieces, it's a fairly safe assumption that the long bottom goes with the long top, short bottom with short top, and medium bottom with medium top. If they're in A the longest (bass) and shortest (tenor) will both be A but an octave apart. The medium is a baritone sounding E or D in between the bass A and tenor A. My C drones can play D by shortening the drones to their limits; a happy coincidence is all. Your baritone can probably be similarly setup to play E at shorter lengths and D at longer tuning lengths.
