I Don't Break the Law - I'm a geek that plays music

[Ru the Boatswain]

Yea right. The Uilleann pipes are extremely hard. You have to pump with your right arm, squeeze with your left arm, play the notes with your fingers, and hit the regulators with your forarm at the same time. You also have to keep in mind the air pressure, cords you are playing on the regulators, and all of the ornamentation with your fingers. ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!

Hardest instrument. Ever.

Elbow pipes sound like poop.

naaaaagh, it's not THAT hard do it long enough it becomes second nature, besides when your doing it for the right reason you don't think about the technicalities behind it, you just flow with it and let the music go and do what it needs to :P

when a Uilleann cries you let it, you dont regulate or control it, or you take away from the power of expression the instrument is designed for. Same with any pipe sets be they the great highland, 3 quarter kitchen or even double chanter Persians :bitchez

morin khuur I found so far to be the hardest over all as it's one of those things with no real way to know where a certain note really is except through trial and error then eventual muscle memory.

Play guitar, acoustic, little bit of electric. Play dash of piano, does knuckle-drumming count?

 

[Viggy]

Vagina.
