A classy piper with plenty of imagination in his playing.
Cool!

Which of his drones are tuned to the 4th? The bari, the bass, or both? I cannot tell…
How does he tune them that way? Special type of reeds?
And one who has worked really hard to get that good and to keep on getting better. I learned a lot about how to practice from him. Cillian Vallely was there too and he gave a really nice workshop the previous morning. Meeting guys like these does open up your horizons nicely.

His Bass reed is going easily from D to G

He sounds great. Amazing rhythm! Care to share some of his practice tips with us? ![]()

Apparently, it was entirely unintentional, just a happy accident that worked out well. It adds a unique tone to his piping.
Cool! I’d dare say he is one of the best living pipers out there! A shame he is not more well known.
