So, ein bisschen Sommermusik. #uilleannpipes #irish #ska https://on.soundcloud.com/RYvRA

I made a new friend today. #uilleannpipes 😍

If you're looking for an excellent solo #uilleannPipes album, I cannot recommend this volume enough. Stellar playing from legendary musicians such as Liam O'Flynn, Seán Potts, Robbie Hannan, and more: https://open.spotify.com/album/46Zrp6bkLclrH47VgVqBg7?si=zcKGZN1USMyfiADHzRyo7Q #IrishTrad #IrishTraditionalMusic

This is my fourth #UilleannPipes reed, and I’ve learned a lot making it. It took me a few hours with a couple of weeks for the cane to rest between tying and scraping. After trying a few different wire bridles, I finally got a crow—the reed started singing. It’s a bit dull, but the pitch is correct, and I’m pleased with it.

Do you play #violin or #fiddle? Where did you buy your instrument? I’m putting a very nice JTL medio fino (ca. 1900) in consignment at a local violin shop but I’m not sure if that’s how folks buy instruments anymore. I’m trying to get the best price I can (to go towards a new #UilleannPipes set).

Boosts for 👀 are appreciated 🙏

For #BandcampFriday, I bought Robbie Hannan “The Tempest,” from NPU. #UilleannPipes #IrishTrad https://npu-robbiehannan.bandcamp.com/album/the-tempest

I had a (classical) violin teacher who used to step on my foot when I tapped it in rhythm. I was told to *internalize* rhythm. Now, I’m encouraged to tap my foot/feet when I play the pipes because the muscles involved in playing are too small to sense/convey any accentuation. Relearning to tap is hard! 🦶🫠 #IrishTrad #UilleannPipes #tradfolk

I made it 😍 bagpipes can be heard from every room, making this retreat center the worst hotel in the world for most people 😂 it’s heaven. #bagpipes #uilleannpipes #irishtrad

I take #uilleannPipes lessons via Zoom. Sure, in-person would be better, but I get to record the whole thing, rewatch it, and extract insights. I can be really present instead of taking notes. I estimate that I get 40% more out of my lessons thanks to Zoom.

I love taking lessons. Being in the presence of a great musician and witnessing how great music is made is exhilarating and humbling at the same time. I am so energized after a lesson!

I took an hour to reassess my reeds and rate them. I’m still playing #1, but I was able to make #2, #3, and #4 sound better. #UilleannPipes #bagpipes #IrishTrad

Might fuck around and introduce the neighbors to my bagpipes this week #UilleannPipes

I hate Facebook more than an average amount, but what I hate even more is that I found meaningful, unique communities there: A group of #UilleannPipes reed makers, folks who 3D print bagpipes, etc.

For #BandcampFriday, I bought: Up Against the Flatirons, by Eliot Grasso https://npu-eliotgrasso.bandcamp.com/album/up-against-the-flatirons #UilleannPipes #NPU #IrishTrad

Tonight’s practice was watching a recording of my latest lesson at half speed and transcribing variations on a reel. That counts. #IrishTrad #UilleannPipes

Noch ein bisschen Irish Folk zur Nacht: „I Know My Love & Father Kelly’s Reel“ https://yewtu.be/9mP3lq516mo #irish #folk #uilleannpipes
