Sorry for the alarmist topic title…
A friend of mine plays harmonium, and I think regulator style playing on the harmonium could sound kind of groovy. I’m wondering which pipers use the regs the most, to serve as a model.
Leo Rowsome.

Tintin why don’t ye just learn to play the regulators 
it would be much easier than tying your friend and the harmonium to your set now wouldn’t it?

Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin’s first recording (Gael Linn CEF 046) had a couple of tracks (The Salamanca a la Tommy Reck and, I think, Jockey to the Fair) played on harmonium , with “regulator” accompaniment.
We live in the twenty first century now Uilliam, we have Krazy Glue for that sort of thing. 
In theory, you’re right, but my chanter is a flute.
(Now I’ve blown my cover…I will retreat back to the flute forum where I belong.)
Thanks for the recording recommendations.
I feel so … so … violated!

Yes, next time you post on the uilleann board, mon ami Tintin, please do us all a favor and dose us up with Rohypnol.
But didn’t you ask about playing on the harmonium and using simple perhaps rhythmic chordal accompaniment on the harmonium? Or were you asking about someone playing UP with regs with someone else playing harmonium?

A thousand and one uses…
… now a thousand and two.
one name comes to mind when i hear “regulators”
Mikie Smyth
go to his web page or to the dutch pipers club home page and youll get as much regulator as you can handle.
But that wouldnae be traditional now if ye use this…
A sticky fingerprint on a fossilised blob of wood is firing the debate over how intelligent Neanderthals were.
The discovery suggests the ancient hunter-gatherers made tools by sticking stone heads to wooden handles with glue.
Neanderthals must have possessed a high degree of technical and manual abilities, comparable to those of modern Homo sapiens
According to archaeologists in Germany, Neanderthals burned birch over fires to make a tarry adhesive.
This was used to stick tools together, suggesting that Neanderthals were relatively sophisticated…
here are two ancient cave drawings showing how to hold the pipes and a close up on regulator playing
or ye can use string to tie the harmonium and player thus allowing freedom for toilet breaks etc…

Sometimes one must break with tradition in order to do the job correctly.
BTW, are you calling me a Neanderthal… I mean, I do have Geico car insurance and all that… but really…
about most ever-present reg playing, Finbar Furey has to take the cake. I jig after jig he’s hitting the regs four times per bar. I’ve never heard Rowsome or anyone else hit the regs four times a bar on a jig throughout the entire set of jigs.
Perhaps you need to listen to more Leo. 
“Paddy’s Rambles Through The Park” on Ronan Browne’s The Wynd You Know has simple harmonium accompaniment with and uilleann pipe chanter and fiddle playing in unison, just for an idea of how this sounds.
Are these recordings commercially available? I at one time had every vinyl LP available, plus some 78’s, of Leo, but I never heard the Finbar Furey ever-present 4 hits per bar from the very first bar of a jig set to the last.
I’ve heard Denis Brooks do it. He is certainly one of the most prolific modern players of the regulators.
Pat McNulty is one of the finest exponents of regulator playing still alive frae the old days.

Indeed - such as this example, added by Kevin today …

I was reading through this thread after looking up Kevin’s 78s and was listening Felix Doran in the background…another good example
