Very interesting thought, but we're comparing Boston's AFM local circa 1970 to New Orleans, 2005- it just doesn't work that way. There were no Zydeco bands in...

Well, this is getting off topic, as we did not play bagpipes of any type, nor eevn any pipe tunes as far as I can recall, but I'll be glad to answer this...

Hi... I have a chanter which I have not played for about a year and find the reed has closed up a little and no longer sounds. This is a dry air pipe, but I...

I had occasion to drop in on an Irish session last week at a local pub with my SSP in A. A few of the tunes were accessible to the SSp, particularly some in D,...
Sounds like you could use Uilleann pipes there, Bob. I actually have a set here for sale, but am waiting to hear from a prospective buyer here in Glasgow who...
When we hold session my teacher EJ plays Uilleann for some tunes, then SSP's for a few, then border pipes for the rest. It's nice to have all 3 sets at your...
IMHO D Scottish smallpipes are preferable if you want to sit in Irish sessions. Fiddlers, whistlers, (and uillean pipers) play tunes mostly in G, followed...
Sounds like a case for interchangeable chanters - Ive got a swayne G border chanter for sessions, the best thing to do is wait till the tune has only a couple...
Thanks, Donald. I fiugure for all the Irish sessions I go to, it's not worth taking up a whole new set of pipes. Better to try to get some sessions of "proper...

there were two guitars, three bodhrans, a banjo, two fiddles a whistle/flute player and a button box player. The SSp was mostly buried. I'm sure session...

I find this very confusing. Any tune can be in any key. It may be more appropriate on fiddle in E, but we aren't talking about playing it on the fiddle. I have...
