A nice tune. Operation Fiddle seems to be going well. I've just picked up the clarinet again after 30 odd years. What is work and why busy now? Not being nosy, just curious 😁.
Well, we'll see. Politics is now all about grasping power and holding on to it rather than serving the country. The Tories have been behaving like a bunch of teenagers having a rave while their parents are on holiday, frankly, and I hope Labour avoids the drama and gets on with something useful. Did I mention I was disillusioned with the whole thing? 😄
The sackpipa was made by Dariusz Kubicki in Poland - he has an Etsy shop. The hummelchen and shepherd pipe were both made by Sean Jones who is based in Staffordshire, UK. There are actually quite a few makers of these sorts of pipes in the UK and Europe.
The hummelchen has the same fingering as the shepherd pipe for all but one note (although the shepherd pipe has a greater range) and the sackpipa is so forgiving that several bagpipe fingerings work on it.
I did the treble part the day after the others, in the evening after work - time for beer and nibbles and lounging around in a ridiculous kids' Oodie!😄
Very nice! I just started playing the Bellows blown Scottish Small Pipes. Man! The controlling the Bellows Bag thing is a little tough. Do you ever have moisture problems with your mouth blown Pipes? How do you manage it if so? Thanks! ✌️🎻🙂😎
Both these pipes have plastic reeds which means moisture is very rarely a problem. The trick with controlling the air pressure is not to blow (or pump the bellows) and squeeze the bag at thesame time! I'm sure you'll get there!
@@MoiraBracknallWell. I tried your advice and couldn’t quite make it work for now. What does seem to work (remembering my childhood) is to hold the Bellows like I have someone in a headlock. I pump up the Bellows and hold it in a little with my elbow. Thanks! 🙂✌️🎻😎
@@mccypr You should have a strap on the bellows that goes round your arm. You need to keep a gentle pressure on the bag but ease it a little when you pump the bellows. If you pump the bellows and squeeze the bag at the same time things go badly out of tune!
Well you might be out of step with popular opinion but I enjoyed it. I have to say that I found it hard to register the transitian from one tune to the other even after several listenings. 😟. Glad you're back and hopefully feeling better.
I played five different recorders for this - descant, treble, tenor, bass and great bass - but it was very complicated just to record the audio so I didn't film them all.
Here are the dots we were given in the Tunesday Tuesdays group on Facebook: colinhume.com/abc.aspx?T=The_Dainty_Fine_Bride&fbclid=IwAR1n0eFTXDxJ62oIFWsNS0f1IVZ27GphZlq0UDTPmTWzMpJlzZ33-W9tDzY It's also available in a great little book called The Musick Meeting, compiled by Chris Green, which has a wealth of C18th dance tunes.
Ms Bracknall, funny how this RU-vid thingy works : I was looking through some stuff, I think it was very early Dylan, and this popped up. Utterly enchanting tune and sweet minimal arrangement and with a powerful melancholic title. It resonates with understated and honest creativity. Superb .Well done both. Trubba not.
Thank you! It turned out like this only because I was feeling ill - it's usually played a lot faster; but many of these dance tunes work well in lots of different ways.
I once played it in the Radway at Sidmouth, not knowing it's origins and thinking it was called 'Trip to Barbados' as it was played for a dance of that name when I heard it. Simon collared me outside the pub and told me its name but said he might be tempted to change it to TTB :)
The story as told to me by Simon himself (as far as I can remember) is that he was in a Suffolk pub and got talking to an "old boy" who showed him some photos of himself as a much younger man in the Navy on board a ship called HMS Valiant. Simon had just composed the tune at the time and was looking for a name for it... That said, The Velocette story is also quite plausible.
