Wonderful
Great :)
Play this at 0.75 speed ..... whoa ;oD
I wonder what his thoughts would be on the speed we play MSR's these days ?
Ross conner you can play fast as long as you can fraze and point the tune but of course the judge that day does it please him indeed .
Obviously it is partly due to the recording but still, was the pitch lower than today ?
Greetings from Brittany, France !
I couldn't possibly answer that. Everyone played sheepskin and cane drones back then and the pitch was tuned different too. I'm not sure the answer to that question.
The pitch was lower
Wonderful tuning and tone - quite apart from the playing.
Excuse me, everyone: I am dead serious here: You do NOT know what you are missing here!!!!! Honestly, it is an absolute shame and horrible pity that almost every single person is listening to the raw, unremastered, warped and crackly versions of these old bagpipe recordings. This has to STOP! All these old recordings you have uploaded are honestly far, and I mean, FAR! from remastered. THey all still have the clicks and the warping and all that. So, in order to make the recordings obviously not so horrid, I went ahead and remastered everything and put them on my own CZcams channel, because I'm a stickler for good quality recordings. You see, I may be blind, but I could seriously make my living remastering recordings like this. I still don't understand why the College of Piping, the Piobaireachd Society, and other piping organizations don't even bother to remaster these recordings. I might get in touch with them and try to make them aware of this. You're honestly doing the piping community more harm than good! Why expose people to warpy, crackly recordings when they can be corrected?
So, all of you who are listening to these records, may I ask you to please, pretty please listen to them on my own CZcams channel? I bought Tony Langford's entire collection, which has more piping on it than what was on Ross's Music Page. I have corrected all the clicking, all the warping, and all of the things that deteriorate from the music. So please, if you don't mind?
