Kenny MacLeod introduces Stuart Liddell, who owns an original antique set of Duncan MacRae pipes. These new Duncan MacRae pipes are an exact copy of the original, which was accurately measured and replicated by McCallum Bagpipes, capturing the fine tone.
Duncan MacRae had started up his bagpipe making business in Glasgow in 1897, and his son, James, took over in 1930, the firm continuing until 1951, later being sold to Grainger & Campbell who were flourishing during the 50's and 60's in Argyle Street.
Duncan had been a great innovator, having devised the hempless metal tuning slide, the chanter grip, a threaded, tuneable bass drone top, drone stocks with threaded locking nuts (to allow easy fitting to the pipe bag), and differing diameter bores to the top sections of the two tenor drones, giving a quieter centre drone.
I would like to say that I'd give my right arm to play that good....but then I would not be able to play. I can't think of a superlative to describe Stuart's piping skill. Just simply amazing!!! I very much enjoyed listening to him.
+John Huddleston I think the words you are looking for is Bad Ass.
But then I would not be able to play them
His snare drumming isn’t bad either ;-)
ive got an old pair of MacRae pipes smashing sound
+Timothy Askey They could well be worth a fortune now (?)
I really like how the Highland Wedding sounds as a hornpipe
Overall I would agree, although for my tastes there's a few too many slides in it. Makes it sound kinda... I dunno... hillbilly maybe
He's freakin good
why were these using Ronnie Corbetts micraphone
What's the name of the first tune he plays (the 4/4 march)? I recognize the melody, but can't put a name to it...
+TheHoohoodragon It's "The Rose of Allandale" I believe.
+piperbob2 Thanks; now it's come back to me! I knew it was originally a song and could clearly hear somebody humming it in my head; I just couldn't remember the words.
+TheHoohoodragon I expect it was the Alexander Brothers humming the song, or the Corries ?!
+piperbob2 Probably the Corries then. I just meant that I could hear the melody in my head as if someone was singing it with generic syllables (like ah, dah, dee, doh), and the lyrics were on the very tip of my tongue!
It's the Rose of Annandale
Is there a 'ball joint' between the stock and blowpipe??? Or is the blowpipe constructed that way with a slight bend?
Ball joint.
What was the name of the second hornpipe that stuart played
Stuart talks about the two hornpipes from 6:34 - they are re-arrangements by Alen Tully, of the march, "The Highland Wedding" and the strathspey, "The Cameronian Rant", but played as hornpipes.
@@piperbob2 do you know where I could find the music for the caledonian rant hornpipe version
@@Solsquin No idea, but maybe worth finding out if Alen Tully has produced a book of pipe music, or message him on his Facebook page.
@@piperbob2 I'll try. Thanks for the help.
Nice
Wit?
playing a Duncan MacRae no less😀
That's the first tune he plays?
It's a 4/4 march (and song) called "The Rose of Allendale". Here's the Corries singing it:
