Nicolodian Movie

goes to scotland to see his grandfather? How did the old guy make his GHB
sound like a Uilleann pipe anyways (ha!)...very talented. It took me a
while to explain it to my four year old son.

Sir just drop the chalupa
Indeed the GHB seems to be replaced with the "U-word" (no flames here, I love
the sound of them) in most TV and movies. Does anyone have a reason why? Or is
it just coincidence?

Possibly the UP are more orchestra friendly. The scale used is the same as
the other instruments and all the composer has to do is work out the tune on
a keyboard before scoring it. The composer doesn't have to worry about the
tensions caused where the orchestral tuning and the GHB tuning differ.

Sounds reasonable to me Paul, except that most of the time I don't hear any
accompanyment with them. Or is it done just for the sake of the composer? Even
so, aren't those tunes already well known, so as not to need "composing"?

I saw the movie and wondered the same thing. Also wondered how the kid
mastered the pipes in a couple months. Maybe I should look into this

The Bill Whelan - Davy Spillane connection is a big part of it.
Their approach is seated in Irish traditional music anyway, they
probably assume (rightly?) ignorance on the part of the majority
of American moviegoers, and they keep each in lucrative work.

just returned from a wedding where the bride chose a relatively cheesey
tune with U-word pipes in it. She sincerely told me at the reception
she chose that tune because she thought I'd love it: "Of course you'd
love that tune, It's got bagpipes in it!"
I believe there's some common misperceptions regarding the sound and
volume of pipes. Few people realize there's only 9 notes, fewer
realize how LOUD they are, and few realize you probably can't play
Maynard Fergeson's "Primal Scream" on the pipes.
