Scots Guards Miniband (1920): Two selections
zhlédnutí 14Před 14 hodinami
Here's quite an interesting recording which is the most recent bagpipe recording digitized on Archive.org. This record was made in 1920, but apart from that, William Deanmyatt the Scottish discographer doesn't include a date. Even worse, all it says is "Pipes and Drums of the Scots Guards", with no clue at all who the piper is. There's no Google search result when I typed in "Pipe Major of Scot...
Blind Piper Reacts - Episode 55: Sneha Prakash (pop soprano)
zhlédnutí 19Před 19 hodinami
Here's episode 55 of the "Blind Piper Reacts" series. Sometime in mid-April 2023, my friend Kristian discovered a singer whose voice she just KNEW I'd just LOVE, and her name is Sneha Prakash. She's not super well known compared to a lot of the singers I've reacted to, and in fact the worst shame ever is the fact that ever since I got introduced to her I kept sending Sneha several messages on I...

Here's episode 54 of the "Blind Piper Reacts" series. A few days after the song "Sad" by Lauren Alvarez was officially released, one of my sister's best friends was looking for more singers named Abby to add to my huge collection of the hottest singing voices. This was one of those singers he found, and I honestly have to say - this is one of the HOTTEST singer out of all the Abby singers in my...
Andrew Macintosh (1918 self-duet) - Far Over Stury (2024 remaster)

Here’s an old record by Pipe Major Andrew Macintosh (born in 1891), a notable Pipe Major in the Scots Guards starting in from 1917. The only evidence we have as far as the date is concerned is just the year, 1918, and it was produced on Imperial / Bulldog records. Being 1918, this record is quite interesting. First of all, given that this recording predates omnidirectional recording, being from...

Smallpipe session
zhlédnutí 14Před 21 dnem
So for those of you who don't know, my first "official" set of bagpipes is a set of Scottish smallpipes in the key of A made by John Walsh, with several replaced reeds over the years. They were bought on the day before Easter 2012. I had quite the session on these smallpipes where I added some hemp (waxed thread) to the sliding joints on the drones since they were a little loose - as in the fac...

That’s sounds nice
Super glad you LOVE these!!!! Now I wish I had a set, but I'm afraid not. As well, I didn't record this. Literally I thought of including videos (instead of just audio files on a black background which I've always done) just to attract more subscribers. Thing is, as a blind person I've never been able to make videos 'cause I obviously can't see, and I'm not living with anyone who can help me with the camera and all that. And I learned the hard way most people are more reactive to visual stuff which is a definite BOO in the blind world. Plus, as I mentioned to someone else, this wasn't a recording I made but it was on a hard-to-find Facebook page run by Italian pipers which only Italians or Italian bagpipe fans will ever find. Trying to make a wrongly-kept secret known by uploading this to reach out to wider audiences because nobody would otherwise know how insanely cool Italian bagpipes are, compared to Scottish Highland pipes. So if it can only be found on a niche Facebook page and wrongly kept a frickin' secret, why not upload it to YT? The only thing I hate about Italian bagpipes is that it's a wrongly kept secret NOT MEANT TO BE SECRET!
Hello this registration was made in Nuoro, a town of Sardinia in the month of april in 1950 by the RAI and by the teacher of etnomusicology Giorgio Nataletti. The voices were: Tziu Chischeddu Arzesi the voice, the mesu boche was Tziu Bustianu Mattana, the bassu was Tziu Jubanne Battaglini and the cronta was Tziu Zoseppe Todde. I want also to say that this tipe of music is a patrimony of UNESCO.
@@nicolaalpigiano8916 I do not know Sardinian. So what the heck do the voice parts mean? You didn't describe them. Bassu? Contra? Oche? I know nothing about that. I only know them as like lead or tenor or baritone or bass. This is why I hate the language barrier from Sardinian people because they only use THEIR terms that English speakers don't understand.
@@michaelkazmierskidunn7189Sorry. The cronta and bassu are two types of troath sound that are produced with a special technique of the throat. The boche is the main voice that exposes the poetry text and the mesu boche is another voice that goes in falsetto. I translated all the terms for you to understand what they are but in reality there isn't even a real translation, not even in Italian. It was a pleasure to help you
@@nicolaalpigiano8916 That was a nice try. According to the Wikipedia article, they mention a goat for the highest note that's not the person singing the words, then the two singers doing the throat technique are like a sheep and a cow. Then they mention that the person singing the words is like a shepherd.
Bro to get a good cutoff on that thing you gotta stop blowing into the bag before the song starts 💀
LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!! Funniest thing I heard all day!!!!!!!!!!
If you look at my other videos with the same guy, especially the one says "Commedian", you'll see him cut off.

Not familiar with Italian bagpipes? I encourage you to download a dictionary I put together about these instruments. I don't want this to be entirely secret so this is my best way of getting the word out. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pysxqok9evu85mpy09kiw/Zampogna-dictionary-12-31-2023.txt?rlkey=9kwcj0okc0mnfxzv9bq4adoj4&dl=1

Oh, I also like finger tapping sounds as sounds of washers and dryers. I just subbed.
Have you tried the Finish Ultimate? I'd also recommend Jet dry rinse aid.
The Zampogna has such a smooth sound. My personal favourite bagpipe.

@@michaelkazmierskidunn7189 I totally agree. Same goes for all the other cool bagpipe varieties. Just off the top of my head I recommend listening to bagpipes from the banat region of Serbia. They are great too and have an extremely unique sound. If you search Banatske Gajde You may find something. There are so many great bagpipes that are left in the dark. It’s a shame. And I hate the fact people always bring it back to Scotland or the idea they are somehow Celtic. I remember reading an article by a Ukrainian man who was the last man to preserve the Hutsul Duda and even he bought into the stupid idea the oldest bagpipes are Scottish. Which is such a shame considering his tradition is just as old if not older and preserves far more unique archaic characteristics. I applaud your efforts to bring Italian bagpipes to a larger audience. I love the very obscure archival recordings you’ve uploaded.
@@DGR233 OMG BEST COMMENT EVER!!!!!!!!!!! Since 2020 I also love Serbian bagpipes (not just from getting Sean Folsom's 'Bagpipes Around the World' album for Christmas 2008), but I bought a used copy of The Ace and Deuce of Pipers from another guy. Bit afraid to upload it because of copyright issues, but still. But you're right, bagpipes from most non-English-speaking countries are wrongly kept secrets that should not be secret. That's why zampogne are the worst kept secrets ever because nobody else knows about these AMAZING bagpipes!!!!!!! But there's tons of English-written material on Serbian bagpipes anyway, so I feel like the Serbians are doing a better job at reaching out to wider audiences. But the poor Lucanians, not yet. And the notion that bagpipes are originally Scottish is also total nonsense. That's why I'm the most passionate about these things.
YES,YES,YES,YES,YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait for my favorite singer in the world Lauren Alvarez to say that, LOL. She just uploaded quite a hot new song today.
@@michaelkazmierskidunn7189 Good luck with that, as the saying goes ...............

Nice I liked with the song how you sounded like you made it like walking footsteps that’s really cool
That's only the rhythm of the tune. The piper wasn't actually walking unless you actually see it visually. Being blind I wouldn't know any different.
Sounded great 😂
Thanks! I didn't play in that band, but I was there to listen. I'm in the Greater Midwest Pipe Band myself. Don't know how well you might know us compared to Great Lakes but we're also a grade 2 band.
I just discovered this piece a few days ago and it has quickly become one of my favorites
I used Zamoogna as a clock, to know what time is it. In the night, when I wanted to know the hours, took my Zampogna in the room and played, then neighboors screamed "who the hell is playing Zampogna at 3:00 A.M???" Then I knew the time.
LOL!!!!!!
And here I don't hear only Sarah, I've heard definitely Christine...
How big was that sheep!?!
It actually took two whole goatskins to make that bag on this set. But fortunately, they do make synthetic bags for zampogne. Personally, I'd never use leather when I can avoid it altogether anyways. So if I get a zampogne I'd demand that the pipemaker put a synthetic bag on it. I'd never play leather bags myself when I can avoid it, just 'cause I HATE MAINTENANCE especially as a blind piper. Legit, my nonpiping dad actually maintains the Highland pipes I play.
@@michaelkazmierskidunn7189 Didn’t even realize you were blind man. Lookin’ good to all the rest of us. 👍
@@BillyTheKidder Hey, that's ok. Literally, I didn't even record this. That's why the visuals are so good. Problem is, too many Italian pipers don't know how to speak English which is clearly and obviously THE WORST THING EVER, so I didn't know what to do other than by "borrowing" as it were a Facebook video from a big Facebook page specializing in Italian piping. I use Google Translator to do everything on that page, and because everything's in a language I don't speak, I knew the Italian people wouldn't care if I uploaded it to CZcams. Obviously with an English translation. I've been enfatuated with Italian bagpipes since 2010, and from reading tons and tons of pages via Google Translator I know everything you ever want to know about Italian bagpipes. In some of my other videos, there's a link to a dictionary of Italian bagpipe terms I put together so you can get to know about Italian bagpipes as much as possible. I wish I could link to it but putting links in comments is considered spam, so you'll have to find another one of these videos of Italian bagpipes on my channel to get the dictionary.
Sounds like My Lagoon Love
I play the highland pipes and I thought because of the enormous size it was a joke but they sound quite beautiful!

That is one awesome pipe .
Glad you love it too! In fact, I far prefer Italian zampogne better than Highland pipes myself just because the zampogna is far cooler (with two chanters, sometimes even 3 different chanters on some modern varieties!). So that always keeps things interesting! Keep in mind I didn't actually record this. Problem is, too many Italian pipers don't know how to speak English which is clearly and obviously THE WORST THING EVER, so I didn't know what to do other than by "borrowing" as it were a Facebook video from a big Facebook page specializing in Italian piping.

Italian bagpipes: Surprisingly calming and pastoral in nature! One could fall asleep listening to these. The Great Highland bagpipes: Makes me want to go to war. I could charge a line of British infantry with nothing but a kilt on and a claymore in my hands!

@@michaelkazmierskidunn7189How do you finger three chanters? A person has only two hands.
@@johnhudelson2652 The third chanter, between the two main chanters, only can play two or three notes, and all it is is just a few tiny little holes spaced super close together to be able to cover all three holes with your left hand thumb. So you kind of partially cover and uncover the holes just with your left thumb, it's kind of complicated. The right hand chanter you use all 5 fingers of your right hand. Because the left hand chanter only uses four fingers, your left thumb becomes free, so that's why the third semi-chanter with the holes added facilitates the use of the left hand thumb. Does that make any sense?
@@michaelkazmierskidunn7189 Yes, it makes sense.
That is god awful! Awesome!
Glad you love it!!!!!!! It's my favorite instrument in the WORLD as well!!!!! Keep in mind I didn't actually record this.

I just discovered your video! Thank you for appreciating my singing! It means so much to me! The second song is in Czech. Unfortunately those recordings are not the best, but I'm grateful for your kind words and comments!
WOAH!!!!!!!!! HOLY MAZZILLO!, Elena!!!!!!!! It's THE BEST, FEELING, EVER!!!!!! to finally hear back from you!!!!!!!! This rarely happened before where I'd hear back from the person I'm reacting to!!!!!!!!!! Since I subscribed to you back when I discovered you, it would be super cool if you could return the favor and follow me back!

Most likely not. ItWhat about Sardinian throatsinging? It's all on there!!!!!!!!!
