Interesting to see a bit of the mechanics of the pipes in action. The "Voom Voom Voom" I would call "Phasing" 😎

This is a life safer. thanks so much!
Happy to help 👍
Excellent tips for me as an absolute beginner. Had no idea you could mute the drones the way you do. I've been using small patches of masking tape. Thanks a lot!
Thank you, Chris. Nothing better than spot on drones.
That was of help,I’m expecting my drones soon,I won’t be too lost when I get them :)
Very good! I think you would make a very good teacher, so well done!
Took lessons from Chris and really took off after that. He’s a great and patient teacher, all around nice guy and an absolute wizard on pipes and regs!
I found value in this thanks!
Thanks!
Excellent video. Very helpful. Thank you 🎶
That's very clear, thanks for the video !
Fantastic! Can't wait...
That was brilliant ... first time ever I got a clue what I should hear to tune them... and than to keep them nice and steady...thanx a lot!
Chris, if you haven’t already, could you make a video on tuning your chanter? I’m a highland piper, soon to be a beginner Uilleann pipers and I’m assuming it’s different
thanks man
This really excites me to receive my Fred Morison full set. I’m a Highland piper of almost 8 years and have had a set of bellows blown smallpipes for a bit over a year. I’m really looking forward to playing the Uilleann pipes. Yours sound absolutely amazing by the way.
Very helpful thank you!
Excellent stuff Chris as usual
Thank you Micheal 🙂
Whish I had this when I first started 😁 I know it's a way more difficult topic, but any plan on a chanter tuning tutorial?
Cheers Chris, class video. Actually needed it too.
Thanks for the tuning tutor, most helpful.
good!
Nice job explaining the tuning Chris. Unfortunately I do not have a stop key so I use the A note to tune. Also on a side note, I will be contacting you early October to get a lesson on regulators. They should be arriving this month.
Interesting stuff! 😊
That's helpful - thank you.
Chris, the easy way to remember is “shorter sharper, longer lower”. So if you need to sharpen the drone, the air column needs to be shorter.
Thanks Chris. This was very clear. Is there a possibility you'll be doing reg tuning in the future?
that's the very question that I was going to ask!
I concur. An instructional video on regulator tuning would be very helpful
What kind of reeds do you have in the drones? Cane?
Definitely lots of value in the video!
Cheers Bro,
I just got my set of drones attached to my practice set on Saturday. I'm 62 and just started playing.
Any tips or advice I can get from you ???

Chris, your videos are awesome and thank you for your lessons. I can’t seem to find the explanation, but can you tell me what the difference is between 1/2 Uillean and 3/4 pipes? Seems like there are so many variants it’s hard to figure out.
Hi James, A practice set is bag, bellows and chanter. Half set is the drones added on. Three quarter set is two regulators plus the drones and a full set is three regulators and drones.
@@ChrisMcMullan that is quite possible the fastest reply I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Thank you!
Chris, who made the sets of pipes you play? Do you play multiple sets from different players?
Hi there, I have two sets. A Cillian O Briain set and an Andreas Rogge set. One in D and one in B
@ChrisMcMullan Thank you so much for the advise. You are the best Uileann player on TH-cam. I watch your videos regularly!!!
Pardon my ignorance, all three drones are tuned to G? Is this for a set in the key of D set?
I’m obviously not Chris, but I’m a Uilleann piper. He’s playing a concert-pitch set in D. So, the drones are tuned to D.
A better explanation from me would have been: his drones are tuned to D as he is playing a D set. He is using the harmonics of the G on his chanter to tune his drones. So, assuming that his chanter is in tune and his G is in fact a G, the harmonics of that G will help his tune his drones to a spot-on D.
