    Those pipes sounded very nice. It makes them very special because they were made by one person. Nice job Matt and especially nice job to Ronnie.

    Great that a successful Malaysian piper is destroying the stereotype of low quality eastern bagpipes. Hopefully this will encourage more people in his region to consider taking up the pipes without having to pay western prices

    I was looking forward to seeing Ronnie's pipes, and they did not disappoint! They sound as good as any pipes I've heard on recordings (if not better) and I even picked up a steady A⁶ overtone. I really liked the timbre on the practice chanter too.
    I was also impressed by Ronnie's thoughtfulness and attention to detail. You don't exactly need reeds or a company logo to make a good bagpipe, but Ronnie made them anyway - and he made them well. The same goes for small things that really are important, like packing. If this is Ronnie's starting point, I'm excited to see where he goes in the future.

    OMGoodness! No one should ever want the high-A crow to go away!!! That sub harmonic buzz that accompanies a truly sweetly tuned High-A is a magic in and of itself. Some say it's the "fourth drone".
    I can honestly say those cane drone reeds have had some time already, they NEVER come up sounding like that from the start.
    Ahh, now that they've time to settle, my goodness don't those cane drones sound so clean? Yes, if I had my way I'd be cane drones all the time.
    And... Was that last bit Pachelbel's Cannon? On PIPES? NYCE!

    • @MattWillisBagpiper
      @MattWillisBagpiper  Год назад +1

      I had set the cane drone reeds up by mouth off camera before that first strike in, so I was hoping they’d be close. That middle a few days later had continued to flatten, but it was still playing well if the top was tuning rather low on the pin.

    Although very tricky and difficult to tune up (I played cane reeds for decades..) cane reeds are stille the nicest bright and deep sound you can achieve in a good set of pipes.

    Awesome set of pipes. As for the drones, My favorite combo is ezeedrone tenors with a cane bass.A little more work on Highland wedding hornpipe and you be almost as good as Stuart Liddell,( not as good as the mouse piper himself though😉) Cameronian Rant on the other hand... Good luck once you start that one!

      I recently got some Balance Tones High Resonance, they are now my favorite reeds. Flawless strike ins, harmonics top notch. I used to play mostly ezees and kinnairds edge. But Balnce Tones really hit the ball out of the park.

      For the Hein pipes, you’ll have to go to his website: www.ronnieheinbagpipes.com
      Lone Star Piper is great source for Hardie/Henderson, as well as Henderson Imports, The Piper’s Hut, or J. Higgins…

    Okay so I've been obsessed with bagpipes my whole life. Eventually I wanna learn. Total beginner question...say I'm tuning drones, is there a proper way to keep them going but shut up the chanter? I don't know how hard it is to shut that off and on haha. I know I've seen pipers quiet drones to tune, as you were doing here.

    • @MattWillisBagpiper
      @MattWillisBagpiper  Год назад +1

      The chanter needs to be sounding when tuning the drones or the pressure won’t be correct…

    • @MattWillisBagpiper
      @MattWillisBagpiper  Год назад

      They are still highland bagpipes in the Scottish style, though calling them Scottish bagpipes may be a it misleading, but so would calling any highland bagpipe made in North America a "Scottish Bagpipe"...

      I believe the RH04's with everything I have are £1040 (appr $1260 US) before shipping (but don't quote me on that!). That's with a blackwood chanter (with sole), a sheepskin bag, and a blackwood practice chanter.

      @@dylanpicquet8149 $500 is hard to find a good set. Maybe used but only if you know what to look for. I think those are the highest costing set Ronnie makes. So a set with less “bling” could be closer to your budget. And remember it includes everything you need.
