in case you're still wondering, the air is also known in gaelic as "An Leanbh Sidhe". The second tune is also commonly known in gaelic as "An Sean Duine" -the old man
By forcing extra air into the drones it pushes the bass drone into the harmonic 4th that is the F# or C#. This happened by accident when he was messing around with the pipes. This ultimately changes the whole dynamic of his playing by adding an extra harmonic. Also Mick O Brien has a fourth drone in tenor A on this concert D set which acts similarly.
It's a lovely sound alright- but these are not bag pipes but Uilleann pipes, they make a much softer sound than bagpipes. Check out Davey Spillane for some fantastic pipe playing.
Close. The tenor and tenor are tuned to C# and the bass to F#. (sorry if this is what you meant...) I'm not quite sure how Mikie tunes them like this- usually this is not possible- he seemed to give a kind of jerk to the bag. He also said that they are unique in being to do this. Also could the person who filmed this put up more please?? I saw you filming it!

Beautifully melodic and harmonious Brilliant lmcomparable
Love the sound coming out of that instrument
Mikie Smyth is one of the best........it was good seeing him in Loughrea a couple of weeks ago.

Uilleann pipes are bagpipes.
That's a bag with pipes sticking out of it.
Mikey Smyth is an amazing player.

That pipe is really in tune! I wonder how much he payed for it ...
