There is a video of a much younger Sean Potts playing. Search RUclips for: Sean Potts - The Masters Return, Gatehouse Maid, Lady's Pantelettes. In this older video it looks like his regulators are from an old Taylor set. What a prodigy. (His father was the great whistle player of the Chieftains, also Sean Potts. The elder Sean was also a great piper.)
No - If I recall correctly the birl employs a gracing or gracings with the lowest note of the Scottish chanter, which is a "G." The "G" sounds a whole tone below the drones' note, "A." The uilleann pipes chanter's lowest note is the same as the drones. It's a tradeoff for being able to put silences between the notes by placing the bell of the chanter on the leg.
I belong to that bunch of people but in Barcelona these things are too difficult to opperate. Recently I leave it, because is borried always playing "Scotland the Brave and Rowan Tree" set.
i started uilleann piping on my own last year and it is much more comfortable, the sound ich much more softer and enjoyable if you tune it right but i still prefer Highland piping ;) by the way great channel barcelona piper, kind regards
Thanks for info! I didn't know Lowest on Uillean is equal to drones! Infact the burl thing graces the drone note A but is done by manipulating the G note crossing trhough it twice-once awy and second time back, in the end it is open and the A sounds as finish. I asked this because i hear similar machine gun like gracing on your supenice playing, just like the burl thing, though no doubt this can be done by several other means and you must have combinations in store :D
Sounds like an old B-natural set. I've heard Willie Clancy and Seamus Ennis play these. One half-step lower than a C set. They also have made sets as low as B-flat, maybe even A? This clocks in as a B-natural set.
The first tune is called “The Munster buttermilk”, the second “The Fair Canavans”.
Appreciate it I’m gonna try to google the sheet music if there is any that is. Otherwise it’s by ear as it always seems to be lol
Out of this world that piping is!
Amazing and wonderful!
Fantastic ..melodic sense and what fingers!
ahhhhhh briilliant!!!!! what a great sounding set
aaaaa master!!!!maravilloso!!!

lovely pipering!
thank you!
The second tune is Na Ceannabhain Bhana, but I can't recall the name of the first tune (although I play it!).
If i had 3 wishes one of them would be to play the pipes as well as him.
