+Christopher Deignan Hey Christopher! Glad you liked the video. Sorry for the weird angle... We'd love to do a concert at the New York Irish Center. Do you think you could email me through my website? (www.caitlinwarbelow.com) I'll also try to find your contact info online. Thanks very much, hope we can make it work!!
Ok, It's been 2 years, so you probably got an answer to this question by now but: The flute being played here is either an antique or a modern copy of one. As Boehm flutes became standard, Irish traditional players hung on to what we would call the Simple System flute. Its use of few keys and holes which are closed directly with the fingers facilitates playing the ornamentation that makes Irish Traditional Music unique.
Love watching your videos... really nice playing! Sounds like you're playing King of the Pipers in G... most written version of this tune that I can find are in D. Do you know what key this tune is played in more often please? Which key would be wise to learn if I want to take this tune to a session? Thanks! :D
@@CaitlinWarbelow If it matters, it's not possible to play it in G on the pipes. When you play in D, you need to get to second-octave A, so in G, you'd be reaching for third octave D, which most pipes can't reach, even in the most favorable conditions.
Brilliant!
wonderful
this is fantastic! Thanks for uploading !
Thanks Jay, glad you liked it!

Stunning. I'd love to have the four of you do a concert here at the New York Irish Center. What are the chances?

We're playing in G here! I also play it in D. Might be good to learn both keys....just to be safe. :)
