Lovely stuff! What else? early Chieftains soundtracks like The Grey Fox (great train music) Barry Lyndon (P. Moloney meets Kubrick)... John Sayles gem The Secret of Roan Inish (composer Mason Daring/piper??)

6:43 Highland boy looks to his father for support when the shock of seeing highland pipes yet hearing uillean pipes hits him. A trauma that will never leave him.

Magic! And perhaps ultra-nerds might like to know that on his "Celtic Moods" album, Ronan Browne plays a longer version of the Braveheart theme which includes a part played on whistle or flute with orchestra backing. That bit is in a different key but if any piper fancies playing it then it is easily transposed and linked to the main theme with a few extra notes.

Great stuff!

To add to the list of fetishized piping, there was a Friends episode with an Uilleann piper.

The opening titles of Boondock Saints was a big one that convinced me to pick up the pipes as a kid.

A good set of film Uilleann Pipes tunes, that I like to do are, Merry Men (Robin Hood Russel Crowe), Braveheart(Outlawed tunes), Lord of the Rings The Shire/Rohirrim theme/Twilight and Shadow, Titanic, Far and Away County Galway. With Lord of the Rings, there is a good amount that can be played on Uilleann Pipes. Also, "All of them" from the one King Arthur movie that had Hans Zimmer as it's composer. Its a really awesome piece of music to play pipes with. If it werent for movies, than I might not have really even got into piping and more specifically the Uillean Pipes.

I believe Mel Gibson specifically requested uilleann's for Braveheart because he liked the sound better - who doesn't! Hehe.😀

Thanks again Jason, for being a great tour guide as we head down the rabbit hole. 😂 The deeper we go 🤯 the more fun we find 😁. 💪🏼🙏🏼🥰 Great video👏🏻

Nice! Would be also great a video of "non-irish or traditional tunes" with uilleann pipes, like the ones recorded with artists such as Tracy Chapman, Sting, Mark knofler, Gary Moore, Nightwish etc...

That Ronan Browne set is amazing!! Excellent video. Thank you 🎶

There was a brief appearance of a piper in the film The Commitments .. no idea who the piper was but I think he was playing The Colliers Reel

Solo good, but bass, percussion and guitar etc completes many songs.

🤩

Waiting for you to cast a spell with that rush!

Alternative title: "If the thing wasn't finicky enough already!"

Great video, thank you!

Fabulous video Jason. Fascinating stuff.

Is chris bailey still making pipes? His website is down

I had a Fromment Concert set with a contrabass regulator attached to the bass regulator.. it was a beast and the only 4 regulator CP set he made. I sold it back in 2008 . It was a few weeks before he passed away.

Very absorbing! You mention the dearth of contrabass regs on recordings. There's a cut of Leo Rowsome playing a Coyne set w/contra on the Drones and Chanter I

Did all those RUclipsy things and even shared into some uilleann piping groups

My favourite set of pipes 🙌🏾

Would love to hear an album with lots of contrabass reg. Great video. Those pipes sound like a proper church organ !!Thank you 🎶

Wow, hadn't seen or heard much about the contrabass, other than rumors and myths... Now, that's a day's work indeed! Thanks for sharing.

Hello I am Patrick from Liam O'Flynn festival I am looking at pipes from Hakam Din and they seem to sound really nice in the sound sample have you ever come across them? Most pipers say that Cocobolo wood is good for pipes? Not really sure.

So much nicer than bagpipes.

Coooooolll!

Fascinating clip !!! Thank you 🎶

If anyone knows the name of the song let me know!

Excellent ideas and the difference does show clearly. I'm just returning to whistle playing after many years and was disappointed in a recently purchased Generation whistle. This gives me hope I know part of the charm of the whistle is in it's querks but I find inaccuracies of scale can be irritating. I have a job to do next weekend :)

My favourite were the 18th century ones that wrapped back up in the stock. Amazing!! I guess they stopped that design to allow for more regulators? Is it the design of it that gave them such a deep sound, or the type of reeds/woods that are used??

As an accompanying guitarist this is really interesting insight for me. I will definitely be aware of this in my future listenings. Thanks Jason and cheers from Brittany !

Really useful video. The added advantage of the credit card hack is that it's no longer available to waste on buying £1000 whistles.

Thanks Jason, really great content, so educational, I feel as though it would take years to pick all the information in this video if you hadn’t presented it like this.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Love the specials effects. Still think you work space tour would be interesting. 🙏🏼😁

Great video as always Jason. The special effects were pretty Hollywood in this one!

Loved the "pocket whistle"! lol

Have you got anything different in you instrument case? Also-I usually stick the blue tac under the main stock for quick fixes or blocking a quarrelsome drone on the fly. Cheers 🥳

Can you recommend a half set that i can buy for a lowish price if there is such a thing , thanks

Very helpful - the improvement in the modded version is well worth the time and effort. Many thanks. Nick the Dogg

It has a nice ring to it.

Got an ad from Musician's Friend saying if I buy a Taylor, get another for 99 dollars. You can imagine my disappointment.

Jason, thanks for this video. I've been playing with drones for about 20 years now, but this video was still really helpful, not to mention entertaining. Keep up the great work.

You are awesome! Thanks so much for putting out all of this wonderful information for us newbies! I am getting my first set at the end of the month and I am over the moon! I am coming from a GHB bagpipe background and marvelling at how vastly different it all is LOL. We normally tune our drones to the same note on our chanter (the “A” note on GHB)…. Lots to learn for me LOL. Thanks so much! I love your channel!

Before diversity and wokism destroyed Ireland.

I actually preferred the eeze-drone reeds, which I was not expecting. Great depth to them (at least through a phone speaker). Great video!

The ezeedrone sound was so unusual (they literally made me lean backwards like "whuuhhh???"). In isolation, the others sounded much more pleasing, but it's hard to pass judgement when during an actual spate of playing, who knows what unique interest that sound might lend the chanter. And to your point, sometimes you trade nuances for maintenance, especially when those nuances won't be heard in certain scenarios. Fun video!

That was very informative, and so thrilling. I bet I'm not the only one who's dying for an elder reed-dedicated video!

Thanks Jason love you vids
