Re: Any Beginners Out There?
Definitely a beginner here. Started 6 years ago, but technically only got my hands on a real set 5 months ago, so count me in!

Re: GHB Pitch/Sheet Music Question
Yes...the ever-present pitch creep (from too much hole dremeling) is something I'm very familiar with. Tuning my old tenor drum to band pitch was a nightmare. Thanks for the info!

GHB Pitch/Sheet Music Question
Hokay, so my understanding is that GHB's play in Bb Mixolydian, a single scale, with an addition b7 below the root as their lowest tone. HOWEVER. I'm arranging some music for an upcoming church event, and the irish instruments I'm working with, including my own, are posing me no issues. It's when I ...

Re: opinions on 3/8 David Daye set
My D chanter has a solo tenor drone...sounds fine. Yes, having a drone that's in unison with the Tonic is pretty well uncommon across the board, but the chanter an drone get along rather well, most especially from low D to G, where you are essentially playing through several inversions of Chords off...

Eww. The windcap's blackwood had some peeling going on...looked like they had put some kind of la...

Re: Pictures of Your Pipes
Yep, that was the one. If it ever comes up for sale again, PM me first
Sounds great so close to the rest of the chanter for mic'ing in a small setting.

Re: Pictures of Your Pipes
About six years ago, I was relentlessly pursuing the somewhat insane dream of getting my hands on a set of pipes. I was a music composition and trumpet performance major at the time, and was drooling over just about any new instrument I could get my hands on. Unfortunately, my loving but naive paren...

Looking for Bouzuki/Similar Player in Southern Indiana
