The Star Spangled Banner - American National Anthem performed by Isaac Alderson on the uilleann pipes at The United Center for Chicago Bulls vs. Washington Wizards, March 16, 2024
Great job under pressure. Uilleann pipers live in constant terror that their reeds will crap out at inopportune moments due to uncontrollable circumstances like extremes of dryness or humidity. Best you can do is keep playing them every day, make sure your set is airtight, and make small adjustments if needed.
That was perfect! Correct notes and excellent intonation! We have "professional" musicians sing this at some of our local sporting events and many do not play or sing the correct notes.
Congratulations Isaac! I've often thought this tune was "Taylor" made for uilleann pipes, and I couldn't be happier to find the first link of a piper playing it was you!
Good job Isaac, I appreciate the use of the drones and regulators. I am of Irish heritage and love the Uilleann pipes. BTW Uilleann means elbo in the Irish language (Americans call it Gaelic). The Uilleann pipes are called that because they are blown up by a strap around the elbow.
