One of the most iconic tracks of Irish music ever. Yay!

wowwwwwwwwwww just love this music

Excellent! Thanks for posting.

This is absolutely wonderful! Love it! Thank you!

Perfect. Just perfect.

That's one flat topped bridge Caoimhin is using on that beautiful Hardanger Fiddle! Gorgeous Music!

fantastic playing by both mick and caoimhin spent many saturdays being though music by mick's wife

Oh God I love the Hardanger fiddle!!! Wish I had one!

Beautiful song. Also this may be weird but some guy named Jake in 2016 introduced me to it and we lost touch. So if this comment happens to find him I’d love to chat again haha.

Draoicht amach is amach. Like a hive of bees buzzing in tune. Magic.

Thank you! Good to know.

@DJFozter These guys are excellent ...tuneful , good intonation, imaginative without destroying the music, good use of ornaments , harmony ...and prepared to experiment somewhat.

whoo the hardingfele and pipes together!!! greatly played!!

Ah, ok... great! Thanks for that info!

on a scale of 1-10 this is a 100000000000

The Hardingfele has many tunings. The most widely used is ADAE (from the bottom string), which is often transposed much higher (BEBF# and CFCG are common). Caoimhin's fiddle is tuned AEAE and is transposed and sounds BF#BF# (this tuning is not uncommon in Norway). I've never heard Irish music played on a Hardingfele, but I think it sounds wonderful here.

This one gets 10 stars.

Wow, that was fantastic. The name of the 2nd tune doesn't come up on the screen, but it's the Humours Of Derrycrossane.

divine

Hardanger fiddles are NORWEGIAN. I've met Caoimhín, and he's very interested in a lot of Norwegian fiddle music, hence his getting a Hardanger fiddle for himself. He says that he likes to play it along with the whistle due to its very bright tone.

Níos fearr ná go h-íontach! Beidh sé seo á sheinm sna flaithis nuair a imíom. Tá usáid an Hardanger fiddle leis na píobaí uillinn dochreidthe álainn.

Watch the vid and you'll see the name come up on the screen.

I think this one needs six stars. :-)

Top Pipemakers. Micks are Froment/Rowsome Alain Froment Geoff Woeff Cillian O'Briain Benedict Koehler & Dave Quinn

I believe it's a slip jig called "The Foxhunters." It might sound different than the versions you find because Mick is playing it on a flat set of pipes here (B, I think?). Good luck.

i had no idea will self was such a good fiddle player

Bb vs C any views on tone colouring / tune modes/ timbre / melodic contrasts? ....

...and Norway! (Hardanger fiddle)

Why do I have to switch my earbuds Left-to-right and right-to-left to hear a proper pan. Sound engineer fail. Otherwise: Magnificent!

Looks like a Hardanger fiddle. I think they are Swedish in origin.

Actually, its a Norse instrument, but you were pretty close.

Much better video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pq2j1texqrDJfLQ.html

is the truth that Mick has played with the Dubliners?
