Mikefule Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUkAHuTzqIc I'm quite proud of this. It's the simplest and most basic box, but this particular tune fits it nicely offering plenty of accompaniment options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcolm clapp Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Nicely done, but may I suggest playing it a wee bit slower. Too quick for most Morris sides imho. Lot's of examples on YouTube for comparison. However, perhaps your 5 fold bellows is a limiting factor; the slower you play, the more air is needed as a rule. Just one man's opinion.... Keep up ,the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikefule Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 I was playing it fast so I could get it over before I made a mistake. If I had been playing it for Morris, I would have played it at dance speed - I've been a Morris dancer for over 30 years. However, I do tend to play a bit faster when playing simply for the joy of the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm clapp Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thanks for your explanation, Mike. I was unaware of your Morris background.and understanding. No offence intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikefule Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Thanks for your explanation, Mike. I was unaware of your Morris background.and understanding. No offence intended. None taken. It was good feedback. Although it is sometimes more fun to play faster, it is harder and good discipline to play more slowly. I ought to.
