I’m not happy with how Ina MacKenzie is resting in my brain, so I might just play this new hornpipe I picked up the other day, Newmarket House. Very fun and fairly easy. Gellaitry pipes, Crozier Carbon tenors, Kinnaird bass, Husk chanter reed, and a SOS chanter that is out of tune because I didn’t bother to move any tape.<\/p>\n
Newmarket House and Alan MacPherson of Mosspark<\/a><\/p>\n I’ve never thought plastic tongued tenor reeds did very well in reproducing the sound of cane.
