@@CalumStewartMusic thank you very much for the reply, very kind, yes I really like your new album and all your other albums which I always listen to with pleasure on Spotify, I was very sorry not to be able to come to hear you at Celtica 2024... I hope you will return to northern Italy soon, congratulations on how well you play the uilleann pipes and the Irish flute, you have great style and talent your band and the arrangements are great too!
Now Calum here's the question for you: How are your regulators in tune while you're in the upper octave on the chanter? Important secret there which you will likely want to keep to yourself.
Great question! Yes, that is something that is down to the balance of the reeds. Ideally there would be no change in the other reeds at all, but it all depends on the playing pressure and the set and the different pressures of the reeds within the set. 😊 🎶
Hip hop and pop make most people want to get up and dance, but not me. Give me some good Gaelic folk music, and you’ll have to tie me down to keep me from getting up and dancing around the kitchen 😂
I’m really happy you like the melody! It was definitely in-the-moment… I had my Pipes with me on the hike, and we just saw this spot and had to stop! North Morar is incredibly wild and beautiful.
Thanks so much Mairtin! Yeah it’s a really special place! We were very luck with the weather!
