My latest crazy idea is to group these in ascending pitch, starting with low G and finishing with Eb. Some of these are quite old and my piping makes me cringe. However, this first one is from Ronan Browne, and is his low G with pitch shifted drones. I’m upset to find that I’ve lost the recording of the one I made, it sounded great but you’ll have to take my word for that. Be aware, I can’t convince WordPress not to confuse you, the recordings are below the text, not above!
Anyway here’s Ronan’s G.
2017 A chanter, with tenor D drone and concert bass reg, then tuner drone.
Next is the first A chanter I made, first with D drones then by itself
Now Bb, I think this is palosanto.
And I can’t resist Ronan playing a Bb, now if you don’t have Cran’s “Lover’s Ghost” go and buy it, you’ll thank me.
Now a boxwood B – in context one of my all time favourite pieces of piping. Also from “Lover’s Ghost”
My own weak gloss, as F O’Brien would say

Below is a quick snippet of Rita Farrell’s full set in D, palosanto and brass, with a hastily made reed I’m not yet au fait with.
