wow that amazingly different. I can't play any musical instrument let alone modify the traditional style so radically.... amazing yet odd

I'm with Yaish on this. Definitely a very talented woman with more skill than I could ever hope to possess playing bagpipes. But I take that song very serious, and would prefer to keep it simple. Just my opinion though.

Great find on the link though, thanks for sharing!

That seems to be the cornemuse she's playing. The piper imparts an almost Dixieland flavor to the tune.

I play that tune as much as several times weekly and make a bushel basket of money doing it.

On the other hand, it's OK if I never hafta hear or pipe it ever again.

Hi steve,

It's not a cornemuse.
I would think it something more like Flemmish Pipes or some kind of Dudelsack. Jean Blanchard says they're probably Border Pipes, but I think the tenor drone stock is to far to the rear for it to be so.

Robert,

My thought is that they are quite similar to the student pipes made by a number of people such as Franz Hattink, Jon Swayne and Sean Jones. It could have been made by any one of them, or at least 3 others I can recall. All of the pipes of this type (at least in my experience) are based around the central French musette chanter and tend to be in the key of G. They usually only have a single bass drone pitched an octave below the bottom fundamental note of the chanter.

Really liked it....adding the bluesy jazz makes it.

I tend to hold a special reverence for that song. Seeing someone torture it was awful...but then I don't consider most Rap to be music either. Yet, a lot of people spend money on it.

<< something more like Flemmish Pipes or some kind of Dudelsack. >>

I stand corrected. The wee wifie won't be the only person today to tell me I'm wrong!
