This unique private recording of The Desperate Battle Of The Birds
by Pipe Major Iain Murdo Morrison in Copenhagen 1981 is made on a Revox stereo tape recorder.
I myself was present and sat 2 feet from his chanter.
All in all, he was a piper from another dimension. Thanks Iain! Rest in peace!
Postscript: Iain Morrison had a divine set of pipes and I have been told the following story. When Iain joined the army he first had another set. Maybe a normal no. 5 set with ivory which was standard and which you got or bought yourself, I don't really know about that. But there was also another piper at the barracks who had also been given a set of pipes and when he played the drones sang and locked almost by themselves. And when this piper later left the army, Iain was given the opportunity to purchase this divine set. I don't know who the maker is and who owns it today.
