new Doublepipes (double chanters) videos

[OC Richard]

I finally got around to making a couple more videos on my Scottish/Cornish Doublepipes.

I cobbled these things together from two ordinary practice chanters, so that I could use ordinary Highland fingering.

The layout of the chanters was inspired by Julian Goodacre's Cornish Doublepipes. I owned a set of those, which were impressive to see and hear, but they were very difficult to keep in tune, and I was never fully fluent with the fingerings.

Here is the chant melody we use in our church for The Lord's Prayer

If you search "doublepipes" you'll see my various old videos, done four years ago.

Richard, that is absolutely stunning! I learned something just now. Thank you!

Because playing with a single chanter isn't difficult enough, right?

Super cool videos and really fabulous playing! I really dig your low whistle videos too. As someone with absolutely no musical ability whatsoever, I'm super envious.

Never heard of such a thing. Thanks for a very interesting post! I`m as impressed by your skill in "cobbling these things together" as I am by your playing.

Thanks, guys!

Here's the thread from years ago when I first started messing around with these things

Father Bill, as you can hear I ended at "deliver us from evil" which is where the melody, as it seems to me, comes to a logical end. However at my church we add "for the Kingdom the Power and the Glory are yours now and forever."

Here it is, sounding very much like at my church, but ending where I ended it on the pipes

I like that very much. Very cool. Did you manage to get the chanters with the missing holes made in the end? I like your low D whistles as well.
