@sharpie660 C natural is achieved by raising the C and A fingers, but keeping the B finger down to cover its hole. F flat (or is it F natural?) is achieved with the F finger up, but the E finger down. I must admit that I'm so used to playing the traditional way, I find it difficult to play these notes in a fast tune. But, as with anything, lots of practice makes it improve! Gordon Duncan was another piper who achieved great music with these notes.
well I do have A LOT of acsess to a piano (my grandmother teaches it) but the highest note on trombone I can do is a high D, which,because of the clef diffrence, is one note below the treble staff, so I need two more notes up (and it's hard for me to do even the D!)
@piperbob2 I'm actually pretty young (about the age you would start piping) and at my age where I'm from, they start you on an instrument in a marching band, and I was chosen for trombone. That and I'm naturally "gifted" (I quote my music teacher) at music and it's fun for me, so I do a lot of musical theory with my dad
I learned the hard way not to practice them back to back! (You know how to make a sound on a brass so it's no suprise) And I don't need to worry about my lips, my slide arm will make up for it!
The 4/4 march immediately following 'Loch Ruan' is 'The Battle of Waterloo', composed by P/M Donald MacLeod (but played in Stuart's own inimitable way).
Daniel Hauyon Hello Daniel - the very first tune here (starting at 0:39) is called "Murdo's Wedding", composed by Major Gavin Stoddart, when he was 11 years old, I believe. You can find the tune in the Scots Guards Collection, Book 2.
@sharpie660 I know - I was just testing! You must be (classically) music trained, and play another instrument, I would guess? Good luck with your piping, anyhow.
piperbob2 sure I thought they would've been imitation ivory due to ivory regulations... I think there's a technique of showing if its real ivory by burning it a wee bit... But I can't remember it well, to be honest
love how there is a guy humming in the background. adds to the effect that he can hear.
I used to play the pipes (five years long ago), and this was the most entertaining video I've seen lately. Kudos!

Oh, my God! Mr. Lidell is green and golden; he's been there and back.

Only Stuart :) He's amazing.

@piperbob2 I think it would be low F because it goes g a b c d e F G a so one note lower would be an F natural

Does anyone know the name of the last tune?
Anyone know the name of the strathspey he plays after the Battle of Waterloo and before Shepherd's Crook?
He played "The Laird of Drumblair" and "The Braes of Mar"
Wow, I'm a beginner piper and I wonder how he did what seems to be a C natural and F natural!

@piperbob2 quick but it's f natural since all pipe music is f sharp c sharp
What is the name of the tune after Loch Ruan?
The 4/4 march immediately following 'Loch Ruan' is 'The Battle of Waterloo', composed by P/M Donald MacLeod (but played in Stuart's own inimitable way).
actually, I noticed that he also does what I THINK is a low G flat, but not sure.
whats the name of the march after flett from flotta ?
It's another 4/4 called "Loch Ruan", composed by George MacIntyre.
+piperbob2 It's the battle of waterloo, maybe it's other name?
Its Loch Ruan after FFF
whats the name of the first tune?

piperbob2 thank you =)

is it me or his projecting mounts look burnt?
I wouldn't think so - ivory ages in varying ways.
piperbob2 sure I thought they would've been imitation ivory due to ivory regulations... I think there's a technique of showing if its real ivory by burning it a wee bit... But I can't remember it well, to be honest
This set would be Stuart Liddell's original MacRae set, so about 100 years old - when Ivory was legal.
piperbob2 ofcourse! Never reaaly thought about his originl MacRae
Does anyone know the name of the first Strathspey
It's at the timestamp 4:19
And the one at the time stamp 5:52
It's a lil sharper than a low f natural
Ahh Maries Wedding
Too short!
DILF
im focused on the annoying humming.....
(It wasn't me !) If only I'd used a radio mic (but haven't down that route yet.)
Does anyone know what the first strathspey is called?
It's called "The Laird of Drumblair"
