They were previously setup with Canning tenors but some felt the harmonics a bit too much so I figured I&#8217;d drop Canning&#8217;s cousin Ezeedrone in there to see, or hear rather, if I could tone it down a bit. A bit of background first however. The Ezeedrone tenor and Henderson Deluxe bass is a very popular combination. Many high level pipers use Ezeedrone tenors and a fair fraction, as indicated by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pipesdrums.com\/ViewObject.aspx?sys-Portal=57&amp;sys-Class=Article&amp;sys-ID=18783\" target=\"_blank\">pipesdrums.com survey<\/a>\u00a0also play the Henderson Deluxe bass. As a specific example, the McCallum bagpipes played by Angus MacColl on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pipesandsticks66.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Route 66<\/a> tour which were subsequently raffled and won by a young man up in Amarillo, TX came with Ezeedrone tenors and a Henderson Deluxe bass, if my memory serves me correctly. I understand the pipes came as they were played on the tour, chanter reed and all. So, this is also a test of a seemingly very standard setup amongst the big guns. I also try this setup in my Gellaitry&#8217;s near the bottom, per request. Also on request we&#8217;ll have this same set of Colin Kyo pipes setup with Colin Kyo drone reeds for a full set of CK pipes, except the chanter reed (Husk). The first slow tune of each combination is played in 4 different orientations to the microphone corresponding to the parts of the tune, that is 1) drones facing mic straight on 1st part 2) mic on left of me next to tenors 1st part repeat 3) chanter facing mic 2nd part 4) mic on my right (bass drone side) 2nd part repeat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/get_on_with_it.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2307\" title=\"get_on_with_it\" src=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/get_on_with_it-300x194.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/get_on_with_it-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/get_on_with_it-1024x662.png 1024w, https:\/\/patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/get_on_with_it-463x300.png 463w, https:\/\/patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/get_on_with_it.png 1667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Colin Kyo bagpipes with Ezeedrone tenor drone reeds and Henderson Deluxe bass drone reed<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/gallawa_inspector-ck-ezeetenor-hhdbass.mp3\">Gallawa Hills and Inspector Donald Campbell (Ness)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/spice_chanter_leisa-ck-ezeetenor-hhdbass.mp3\">Spice of Life, Old Chanter, Leisa McCord<\/a>\u00a0(workin&#8217; on those edres)<\/p>\n<p>Colin Kyo bagpipes with Colin Kyo drone reeds<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/74ths_angus-ck-everything.mp3\">74th&#8217;s Slow March and Angus MacKinnon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/msrhj_ck_everything.mp3\">Kantara to El Arish (whew that was rough, stupid E grace notes), Highland Harry, Miss Proud, Newmarket House, Thief of Lochaber<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gellaitry bagpipes with\u00a0Ezeedrone tenor drone reeds and Henderson Deluxe bass drone reed<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/waltzes_quaker-gellaitry-ezeetenor-hhdbass.mp3\">Kate Martin&#8217;s Waltz, Calista Anne McLaurin, the Quaker<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/weemichael_mason-gellaitry-ezeetenorhhdbass.mp3\">Wee Michael&#8217;s March and Mason&#8217;s Apron<\/a> (forgot which tune was next, also tired, sorry about blowing flat at first)<\/p>\n<p>Edit: 6:17 pm CDT 6-13-2013<\/p>\n<p>Here is a picture of the drone reeds Angus apparently played during the Route 66 tour.
