Uilleann Pipes

Checked out some youtube movies about Mick o’brien tonight and came across this one as well.
The sound of that set is really really nice. Pehaps anybody knows what it is? Sounds like a B or Bb set.

I believe it’s Mick’s Froment Bb that’s buzzing way here

3

is he playing the first tune in g? sounds strange as though some parts are in a different register than i was expecting

4

If so, it’s tuned a bit north of Bb and a bit south of B.

It’s a D setting, and he’s folding up as needed.

5

Mick has both a B and a Bb, and that’s the B - it’s pretty close to B, too.

6

Yes he plays both B and B Flat sets by Alain Froment.

In that YouTube clip Mick is playing the B set as the chanter artificial ivory/metal type top part of chanter.
His B flat chanter has full artificial ivory.

I thought it was the Bb but it was the B then. Very nice playing :thumbsup:
