Re: vPipes Update
Brazenkaine - I'm having trouble believing that you actually exist. You need to post a youtube testimonial, along with your birth certificate and social security number. Then I'll find another way to dispute you and your supposed electronic bagpipe. No one would name their kid Brazenkaine, anyway. What kind of fools do you take us for?

It's true that you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar - but a big, steaming pile works best of all.

- Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

Re: vPipes Update
I've been getting many inquiries as to how i'm getting on with the vpipes. I'm still discovering it's strengths (played during a final exam I proctored! Yes!), and encountering some shortcomings. Briefly, I can say that I'm REALLY enjoying it and see loads of benefits from being to play anywhere, anytime.
The playing differences are not so great twixt vpipes and an acoustic instrument. i.e. I can see (and feel first hand) this instrument as a huge help to not only clean up one's technique, but superb for getting a huge amount of additional practice time in..... when otherwise you might be sitting on your hole, away from your pipes, thinking about how much time you may get to practice before it's time to go to sleep.
I hope to write a detailed article for the piper's review. By then I'll have enough info from Ramon Castro to give this a fair shake in public.

Re: vPipes Update
I totally agree with the above (just arriving to work, playing along on the one hour train ride from Uppsala to Stockholm). I made my first own virtual pipe set this morning (a gorgeous low A-set with drones tuned to B-minor). I too can see minor(really!) shortcomings but I'll save that for later. Next two projects is a youtube clip (in the works!) and a suitable gig bag (gig bag makers haven't tagged along so far making something appropriate).Brazenkaine wrote:Briefly, I can say that I'm REALLY enjoying it and see loads of benefits from being to play anywhere, anytime.

Personally I will not even remotely believe that these so called vpipes even exist until one of you packs it up, sends it my way for testing, leaves it with me for somewhere between 2 and 197 weeks and preferably forgets that they are even in my possession (assuming I don't just pack up and move in the meantime).
THEN I'll let you know how things are going....

Re: vPipes Update
well as there is no evidence they exist or play, i have ordered a set and will let you know my thoughts if and when they arrive. I will certainley post a video. However, if you cant actually see me holding anything and a record player in the background, that will be cos you aint on the same wavelength as me and mr castro!
