    A masterclass in regulator work! I always wondered why ye olde Uilleann pipers were mad enough to add them to an already complex instrument- there's why!

    Great playing, wild wrist regulator work!! I'll make it a personal project to replicate 1 bar of this reg playing by Christmas 2014! I hope in other performances the drone mike has captured / will capture more of the bass. Most of these flat sets have in their different sounds beautiful bass tone that's too often not captured in live amplified playing.

    If I remember correctly, this set's bass drone was wonky and he only used it when he needed it to play the 4th relative to the tonic. It was a really cool sound and he used it that night when playing the "long" Ennis version of the Fox Chase.

    It is a C# set, although it might not be playing 'IN' C#... this model is more likely in the same pitch as Seamus Ennis' pipes which usually are about half way between C and C#. It was based on a very similar 'Coyne' set to Ennis'.

    Amazing performance but I'm curios why he shortens the "A" section by half? All of the versions with which I'm familiar the A and B sections are both 8 measures, each repeated. The "C" and "D" sections are 4 measures each (both repeated).
