Synwhistle Bagpipe recording

peeplj · Post by **peeplj** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 7:12 am

Well, this is the first recording I've done with the Synwhistle Bagpipes that I thought was fit for public consumption:

http://www.flutesite.com/samples/ganderpipes.mp3

That's the jig "Gander in the Pratie Hole."

I'm enjoying these bagpipes, though I am by no means a piper. It would be interesting to see what a real piper could get out of them.

Way to go, James! Much better than anything I could have done on pipes...

Thanks for sharing your new endeavor with all of us!!

My best to Shannon and the ferrets!

Blessings,

Thanks, James. You've certainly made the decision whether to buy one of these things much easier.

Judging by the tone of these postings,my fear that I needed new speakers was unfounded.

And how many of us sounded wonderful at the very beginning of trying to learn an instrument?

Geez, people, give a person a break once in a while... after being on this board for around four years now, granted a short time compared to some of you, it would be nice to see an encouraging word or two once in a while when someone tries to share.

:roll:

This not about Jim's playing. What makes you think that? Do you have reason to assume his playing is bad? None of the posts have said anything about Jim's paying on the bagwhistle not being up to snuff (except Jim himself). And I particularly made a point of thanking Jim. Would be nice to see that acknowledged once in a while.

I can't speak for everyone, although I have a pretty good idea, but I wasn't commenting on James' playing. I think the remarks are directed at the instrument and how horribly out of tune it is. That's the worst sounding thing I've ever heard.

Thats almost as badly out of tune as the average GHB practice chanter.

My apologies if I misunderstood anyone's intentions-- so many of you have jumped all over James in the past that it sounded as though you were doing so again. I stand humbly corrected, and will try to override knee-jerk reactions in the future.

Tumbled off my soapbox now...

Maybe it's a good idea for all of us to read posts rather than divine intentions.
