Reccomendation

Hello,

 

I have a G D anglo and play with our Smallpipes. I have to use the D row which is quite high. Could someone recommend a different key Anglo that would play lower. For the record I mostly play on the rows. Here is a sound clip of our smallpipes,, its the one in he key of A http://www.cancart.net/johnwalshbagpipes.com/skins/default/en/images/smpipes_mp3s.htm

Bob, I played along with the first two of your pipes clips on my G/D Anglo. It seemed to work just fine in those keys. People rarely complain about the G/D sounding too high... it is a 4th below a C/G. In the key of D on a G/D you can often play a tune or parts of a tune in both a low or high octave. So if you want it lower, play it down. Also, if it's low you want, there are octave C/G instruments that really rumble. The Button Box has made them http://www.buttonbox.com/morse-ceili.html

To play with our smallpipes (they are 9 notes same as the GHP) I have to start on the d row second button down from the top with a pull (low G for us) then next button up on a push ( low A for us)and so on a and so fourth,, was that about where you were playing? If I do that on the G row it dosent match at all.

Hmmmm. I'm not quite sure what the problem is. Those pipes sure sound nice with my G/D.

Operator error on my part Im sure. Perhaps I can make a recording of both scales and upload. Wait, There is an old recording of myself and my son playing a tune I wrote for a fried who died. It was the first take and not so great however it IS with our smallpipes: http://www.triadhighlanders.com/press/th_files/Scott6.mp3

Lovely A mix tune there, too bad the recording cuts off before the end. I am a sucker for the sound of pipes and concertina. What I heard can be played cross row in your choice of octaves on the G/D. Cross row required. The lower octave must be played mostly by the left hand and the upper octave by the right. The tune only goes up to a high A which is a high note, sure, but most tunes have them. So what's your question?

Thanks, Ill re record it and put it out there. Being a NON accomplished Concertina player I play ON the rows. The D Row (closest to me) I can do this perfectly with he small pipes but the G row (using the same buttons) is not in the same pitch. It is somewhat if I move down the row but then all what im used to button wise is different. So I guess my question would be is there another concertina C/G other?? that would allow me to play on the rows that would be lower pitched?

 

Sorry to be such a concertina dimwit
