    OMG Matt, I didn't even know these were a thing! I've been to SO many Dropkick Murphy concerts and I'm ALWAYS front and center, that Al and Ken point me out. Back in the day, Scruffy gave me a beer at a concert in Burlington, VT. I've got their skeleton piper " mFields of Anthenry" tattooed on my arm! I just keep finding more reasons to love your channel!

    Interesting that you prefer the inverted EzeeDrone Bass. In my various pipes the standard EzeeDrone Bass is noticeably louder than the inverted, though true enough that in some drones the inverted can solve strike-in issues. BTW nice to play Amazing Grace. I wish all bagpipe reviewers would play Slow Marches and Retreats rather than blowing through jigs and hornpipes that don't allow the chanter/drone harmonics to be heard.

    • @MattWillisBagpiper

      My normal go-to bass reed is a Balance Tone in most all bagpipes I try. Wish he sold the bass reeds by themselves! Can't recall if I was surprised or not that I preferred the inverted bass in this set. I know in the MacRae line of pipes my favorite bass is the inverted Ezeedrone bass or the regular Ezeedrone.

    I could listen to you talk about pipes all day matt. I’ve been a subscriber since you had under a thousand subscribers and have never missed a video. Would you consider doing a live stream maybe once a week? Just showing a live practice or simply talking about pipes in a podcast form or even you just tinkering away in the office. I know I would love that and I’m sure many more would also

    Matt,
    Fantastic content and thanks for sharing.May I ask,and apologies if this question has been answered already.
    If you had to chose between the Drop kick Murphys edition pipes or the PH Celtic heritage pipes,what set is your favourite?
    Many thanks Rob

    • @MattWillisBagpiper
      @MattWillisBagpiper  2 года назад +2

      I'd ask for a custom set, the Dropkick Murphy wood engraving/etching, but plain nickel ferrules and caps (and change the mounts to boxwood instead of blackwood).

    • @roblanegan2875
      @roblanegan2875 2 года назад

    NIce Video and really nice pipes. As an aside I was always taught to put twists in the cords between the drones (back in the 1970's). Is this no lionger a thing?

    How were the images on the metal ferrules, pins, etc applied? Are they etched, engraved, transferred, etc.? Just curious if the Drop Kick Murphy name and Skelly would eventually rub off.

    V8 Bagpipes! That’s a first! Great video, stunning pipes. Presumably underneath the stunning carving they’re regular Hardies? Or are they customised internally too?

    • @MattWillisBagpiper

      They are the same bore form what I can tell. But seeing as my go-to personal bagpipe is a modern Hardie-made Heritage Henderson, that's a good thing!

      This set didn't as it didn't come with a chanter. Luckily, I have plenty of chanters and reeds. I would assume under normal circumstances, yes, it would come with both a chanter and reed.
