Does anyone know of a good psychiatrist or therapist who specializes in treating, or at least consoling, us lads who have found that the lasses have not only become pipers but are better than so many of us?
No! It’s Christmas and thus the perfect time to nuture resentments and abrasions of the ego. She is far too good and natural allow enjoyment without resentment. And, that guy with the tom tom isn’t helping tame my fit of jealousy either.
I have tried that getting better stuff since I was 14 years old, 70 years ago. Improvement became asymptotic by age 25 so now i just perfect jealousy. It’s easier and keeps my blood pressure up.
@@piperg6179 oh bugger well I suppose you're fucked as we say in Australia. LoL 😂 have a merry Xmas and try not to be too jealous 🥳 I'll think of you every time I listen to this wonderful lass play .
Is he tightening the head tension with his hand to increase the pitch or just hitting different parts of the head? Those small pipes are amazing sounding. What maker are they from?
Could you share with us the names of the tunes, please? I am particularly fond of the 3/4 (or 6/8?) tune in the beginning. Excellent playing, new discovery!
Thankyou so much for your comments. the first tune is a waltz by our son, Kyle. It doesn’t have a name yet, but I’m happy to share the dots it you’d like them, and I’ll ask him to name it! It’s becoming popular here in sessions and pipe bands The other tunes- jigs- Miss Margaret Maclachlan (trad) New Year In Noosa (Murray Blair) Reel- The High Drive (Gordon Duncan)
Hi John, mine are Hamish Moore smallpipes from Scotland. I’m don’t have an extensive knowledge of makers in US but do know of lovely small pipes by Nate Banton.
I really enjoyed this, thank you at 68 I'm now finding it difficult playing the Ghb and am considering smallpipes, would you recommend any type and also bellows or blown? !
Smallpipes are great fun. I prefer bellows because the reeds last for a long time due to the dryness in the bag. But it is another skill to learn. Mouth blown ones are great as well, and coming from GHB is an easier transition.
Playing slow Tunes is definitely the way to go, the slower the tune the better so you can just concentrate on the bellows. And long, slow movements for each arm so you draw the most possible air in for each movement
The intro and waltz is called “The Untitled” by our son, Kyle. Then Miss Margaret Maclachlan (Trad); New Year In Noosa (Murray Blair) and The High Drive ( Gordon Duncan )

Did I see the look of love in that beautiful lady's eyes during the mid point tune?? I think so... You are a very cute couple. You musn't be married, because no married couple loves like this, at least at this stage of the game, but maybe that's why you two stayed together?? I'm on year 32 with number one at the moment, so not so shabby, and in my house, I'm the piper, maybe I can get my lovely darling to play the bodhran? It's never too late, I think.

Mostly by pressing the skin with his hand
I wish the two of you were still active here, as your playing is sorely missed!
Hi Daniel, it has been a while. We have another set coming, thanks for your encouragement, hope to get it up in the next week 😊

@@merranmoir2576 So it's Kyle's Waltz perhaps? Would love to have the dots.
@@fonsstam I can email the dots if you like, I can't seem to share them here
@@merranm9437 Thank you! Please send it to fonsstam@gmail.com
@@fonsstam sent just now
Which smallpipes, and what key please? Lovely sound!
Hi Kirsty, they're Hamish Moore smallpipes in A. I love them, and glad you also like the sound :)
I want to buy Scottish small pipes. Can you tell me a couple or decent brands to buy in the US. ?
Hi John, mine are Hamish Moore smallpipes from Scotland. I’m don’t have an extensive knowledge of makers in US but do know of lovely small pipes by Nate Banton.
Make sure you get a good set. Henderson Imports has been very helpful to me.

I baught a set, struggleing with the bellows and finding a comfortable way of holding them, and tips?
Playing slow
Tunes is definitely the way to go, the slower the tune the better so you can just concentrate on the bellows.
And long, slow movements for each arm so you draw the most possible air in for each movement
Sounded lovely! What was the last chune?
It’s Gordon Duncan’s “ The High Drive” 🎶
how do they do it?
Play list?

It's pronounced "bow-ron", correct?
Depends on where you're from. Bow-ron, boar-on, boor-uhn, and that's just the variants of irish pronunciations!
@D B boar-on is usually the way its said in the north and Scotland I believe
Scottish music with Irish instruments 🏴🇮🇪
Nope - the pipes are lowland Scottish and English, if anything.
