I thought it was a fundamental requirement to hold down the left hand 3rd finger longer than this so that it sounds like an echo beat. clearly not a performance worthy of a placing due to such a basic error! pipes sound terrible
Kevin Hanley He's holding that finger down long enough. He's just playing the note before it shorter than you might hear others do. If you knew anything about Piobeareachd, you'd know there is a belief that it has become too standardised and that in the past players showed much more variance in their interpretation. Many pipers of authority would welcome more leeway of this sort.If you think think there is anything wrong with the sound of his pipes I suggest you change the battery on your hearing aid.
I absolutly agree with you, the double echoes and other embellishments have been standardised and I think that has somehow " castrated " the performances, And restricted the freedom of interpretation I hope that this concept will cease and will re open the freedom of personnal way of performance
Great performance, great phrasing.
Chris and Gordon are LIVING LEGENDS......this PIBROC'H is a more than excellent performance!
Chris Armstrong is a world class Piper who started learning to play when he was a child, he doesn't need advice from anyone. His pipes sounded great.
I like this a lot, hopefully it will get more attention in the future.
It is called Nameless - Chedare Darieva...an awesome tune.
As an Armstrong, fuck yeah!
It is actually Nameless 'Cherede Darievea' and it has been chosen as a senior piobaireachd tune in 2014.
I wish I could play one tenth as well.
A brilliant performance. Anyone who has the temerity to state otherwise should be ignored.
+John Dally You literally against other thoughts.
Well done, lad

I believe you are incorrect. His technique was quite good and so were his pipes
