Re: Fred Morrison Uilleann Pipes
I heard he may be delivering a half set when he comes out the first week of October for Pipes & Whistles on Lake Tahoe https://www.facebook.com/PipesWhistlesOnLakeTahoe/ . One of the guys had placed an order last year and said Fred
will be bringing them out. I'm looking forward to having a go on them as well as having him play my new Hubbert half set. It will be nice to hear how I wished my pipes sounded when I play them
I'll be sure to take photos and video and will try to upload them.

Re: Fred Morrison Uilleann Pipes
I thought it unfair that Dave Williams wasn't getting more credit in the new venture ,but on hearing the clip Dave probably wouldn't want his name linked with them anyway.

Hi Rory
The tune is Lament for Gordon Duncan. It sounded much better in the hall, the guy recording the llaunch did them no favours it seems.

Re: Fred Morrison Uilleann Pipes
They should have invested in a properly produced recording of the pipers. You only get one chance to make a first impression.

Sounds like his bass drone shut off or something.

Re: Fred Morrison Uilleann Pipes
It is clear to me that the recording was recorded at too high a signal level. You can hear the digital equipment clipping throughout as the inarticulate noise reminiscent of the early Modems. If the recordist was a prefessional, there should be a second track at a lower level of signal (hopefully without such clipping). Its entirely possible that this IS the second lower level track (which accounts for the time since recording to issuance of the clip, as the sound man tried to rectify the error) and that the soundman was asleep at all the switches. Not unlikely from what I've heard at such venues. The level of "augmentation" is generally pretty darned high. If all you do is run sound for Rock Bands, this is what you get.

Re: Fred Morrison Uilleann Pipes
Thats all very well, but did nobody think to listen to the clip before uploading it to youtube.

Re: Fred Morrison Uilleann Pipes
Just about every thing in that clip was bad.
What are they knocking them out at?

Re: Fred Morrison Uilleann Pipes
I'm glad it's not just me. They sounded nothing like his Dave Williams set. A real disappointment!

Re: Fred Morrison Uilleann Pipes
The pipes themselves sound fine live. This is a bad recording which does not make anyone want to try them.

Re: Fred Morrison Uilleann Pipes
Hi Guys,
We realise that the balance/mix/captured sound here could be better, but we were absolutely inundated with requests from people, very keen to hear the new pipes, so we just decided to go ahead and put up this short clip as a taster. The more detailed, up close videos, where you’ll be able to hear the pipes in full, will be available in the near future.
All the best,
Kenny
