1930's Starck bagpipe
Helping to sell this set for a friend. Audio quality not superb for the pipe here but I have also made a recording on my SoundCloud page that is accessible.

After having to have my computer wiped clean, I was worried that I had lost this recording. Rather than run into that again, I figured I would share it on here. This is the recording of my MSR from Inverness in 2018 where I was lucky enough to win and receive a Silver Star. As of right now, there are only three people outside Scotland that have won this event. Jack Lee, Bruce Gandy, and myself.

      @@thebaron5206 at the time of recording, this room was set up as my wife’s highland dance studio. The sheet hanging on the bar was to try to soften the acoustics for recording pipes as there was minimal furniture in the room and quite loud. I was thinking folks would prefer a well balanced audio rather than a perfect backdrop but here we are. Cheers @thebaron5206

    As i get older (82) i find i miss more doublings. An F doubling here, a C doubling there…maybe my thumb misses the touch on a high A doubling. Thus, i can predict that Alex will miss a gracenote or two after age 150. Until then he can bask in perfection.

    Such an epic tune. Love the crunluath. Not sure what you call that type of variation. Like a braebach with an additional passing note similar to Mary MacLeod. I like this style. I also once heard Willie MacCallum play the final variation straight or even to nice effect as well. Nice tune!
