Chiff and Fipple Forums

thanks nano, will do :)

I hope I'm in the right forum here. I have been having problems getting into the chatroom of late. I come in and it just shows my name, and the bottom of the screen says the page is connecting, and it doesn't seem to get to that point. :-? Would someone be able to look at this for me?

Hello all. I was wondering if anybody knows of any good celtic guitar tab sites on the web? I've found ceolas and a good webpage I had the net translate from french. I've looked around c&f a bit, but haven't found too much yet. Anything out there anyone knows of out there, or links that I may ha...

These sites here, at least a couple of them, are better organized: http://ace.acadiau.ca/score/archive/ftp.htm http://crab.rutgers.edu/~pbutler/music.html I like that second one, its nicely organized with a pretty good list of songs with pdfs and midis The first site is portal, you can go to alot of...

well, on the left hand side, the menu there, you'll see concert mp3s, and when I went to "repetoire support" on the left hand side again, they had mp3s/midis/pdfs for pieces. If you look around the site enough, you'll bump into all that stuff.

I wasn't too sure where to past this, but I found this cruising round the net today. It is by far the biggest site for early music I've found...doubt I'll ever find anything bigger! It is at http://www.acc.umu.se/~akadkor/theory/Early-Music-Map.html You can go to http://www.acc.umu.se if you wish, a...

Hey there. I'll be playing shakuhachi as soon as mine arrives. I ordered a sopranino recorder, a shakuhahci flute, and an ocarina. I'd say that qualifies as diverse insturmentation :lol: I belive there is alot of "Circular breathing" involved. I was looking at a some stuff on the net, and ...

thanks for the tips guys...I think that getting the embochure for the flute will still be easier than bending notes on my harmonica! That is HAAARRDD :swear: :boggle:

hee...I hope I spelled that right. I'm having trouble getting the embochure on my PVC flute :swear: I can get a consistent note, but it sounds raspy. I've been told to feel off the side with my hand for air leaking out, and I slowly change the angle to get the proper embocure. Any more tips from any...

Hey all! I just got a PVC flute. I was wondering if anybody had tips for playing it? I can basically play it, but is sounds very breathy. I have to work on control between notes/ornamentation, as this is the first time I've played anything transverse. I have to get used to the mechanics. whisterrobe...

Hello all. I just got a chanter, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for tunes to play. I have already figured out amazing grace and most of scotland the brave. Any suggestions in general as to playing it? I already have a fingering chart, and I've figured out some of the fingering by ...

Thanks for your advice, guys. I'm certainly not saying that ornamentation is inherinently necessary, etc, just that I wish to improve on my ornamentation itself, and get a better idea of where it may fit. I find that I listen to a song played by someone else and I think to myself "that ornament...

Hey all! Just wondering what I should do in the way of prettying up my tinwhistle songs. I find myself at a point now where I am technically proficient, and I am trying to put some ornamentation in the songs, but they aren't coming out as nice as I would like them to. Mind you, sometimes I compare m...

hmmm...favorite monty python, eh? So hard to decide! . Well, some of my fav's are the quest for the holy grail, the sketch with the obsessive kitchen staff "you have dirty...smelly fork." the cheese shop.

Anybody here see the John Clesses video "How to irritate people."
