It's a wonderful sound. We were discussing the sound of the pipes after last night's session and trying to pin down what exactly it is that makes it sublime. Tone? Some sound frequency unique to the pipes? It seems to have a rich "layered" sound. Any scientists out there? Thanks Bogman.
I particularly have a soft spot for flat pipes. And I love the way the keys on the regulators work so you can slide up a chord, but not down. It's lovely.
Saw the master playing with Cran on Saturday . Played an air to die for wish I had a recording of him playing it.
I cannot remember it's name although Silver spear knows it.
A thing of great beauty

Sorry, don't know how to squeeze a discussion out of this one but everyone should get the chance to hear this. Ronan Browne, regulators of the gods.

Re: A thing of great beauty
What makes the pipe sublime? Ultimately the man or woman playing them. A good set of pipes is just a bag of noisy sticks in the wrong hands.
