I’m not in the habit of putting up tunes but here’s one just written today: The Windmill Jig.

Have a listen.

The Windmill Jig

Hope you like it. Apologies for the odd squeak, first take and all that…

Great tune David! Thanks for posting it. :thumbsup:

That’s a shame. Should be more of it. What good’s a piping forum if no one wants to share their piping?

Nice tune David. Are you making it public domain or Cop-con. Should we call it ‘David Lim’s’ if we wish to record it? What’s the go with new tunes these days?

Cheers,

DavidG

Nice tune David.
Reminds me a little of Fraher’s with the low hand chanter work in the first part but there the similarity ends.
Yeh, a nice tune. Can you put the dots onto the forum?

For me there’s not much point in copyrighting a tune. The fun of writing it is enough, after that the tune’s has to fend for itself.

Of course it’s alway nice when you get a credit on someones album. But that is a small proportion of what come out, most of my tune are thought up, then forgotten within a week. I thought I’d try and hold onto this one.

Tsk..tsk…you should be learning to play by ear :wink:

Very nice sounding; congrats on the player. What set do you play?

David your tunes are fantastic - I often play the ones from years ago that I can remember. My long-standing favourite of yours is Edinburgh Rock (it rocks :smiley: )
Keep 'em coming!!

I would certainly love to hear more of them David. Any chance of posting a few more? :thumbsup:

It’s a newly written tune.

It’s a Willams set, the reed is sounding a bit “honky” on the hard D occasionally but generally it’s good.

I give it a go in the next few days.

Thanks all

David

It’s a Willams set… a bit “honky”

I was ~wondering~ if it was a Williams set. Very nice playing, David, and the set sounds great!

Did you have a particular windmill in mind when you named the tune?

Any chance of posting some sheet music via ABC format? I particularly like the crans.

Cheers L42B :smiley:

Yes, it’s very quaint with little craft workshops and a cafe set around it. A few people out there might know it.

For those that might be interested here’s the tune written out:

Not quite got to grip with the software yet and the abc export kept crashing, so it’s not abc.

I’ve not put in any ornamentation, so do what you like. :wink:

Thanks for the tune David, I’m adding it to my repetoire.

Thanks for putting up the dots David :thumbsup:

… well? Whaddya say?

18

Of course I am too polite to be continually pushing tunes on you all and too polite to say no.
So I’ll post one more tune and then we’ll forget this ever happened. :smiley:

OK.

This tune is the result of a brief infatuation.

7/9mp3

It’s from a band recording of a few years ago so no excuses for the squeaks this time. :slight_smile:

The other musicians are Tony Trundle fiddle and Paul Callick guitar.

Here are the dots if you are interested:
