Tune/reed

Post by rgouette »

Dug this tune out of the vault: my first recording endeavor.
I think it shows what happens when the reed isn't properly humidified(location=Maine).
I started introducing(carefully & using a guitar humidifier) moisture into the case near the chanter top & it seems to be more stable in the 2nd octave.
I'd actually like to go back & re-record that tune now...hmm
(beware reverb is beefy)

See link at bottom of page](MP3)

I recently read somewhere on this forum that half an apple is just as good, and a whole lot cheaper. :wink:

The tune was written by my wife, as part of a greater work for an Easter musical...to be done at some point soon!
