If you mean if the tune comes from Unravel, no, it does not. It is a traditional tune, more than 100 years older than the game. But it's nice that the game developer used traditional music for their game! That's not very common.

@@ogallmo oh? Well, i gotta say, i really like the song, the "old" and "newer" one, i never heard it before but it sounds really cool 🫶👍

Svårt att undvika i ett fullsatt rum.

Thanks, I think there should be more säckpipa players in Minnesota, though. I gave courses there in 2011. Yes, I know, it's 12 years ago, but I would have hoped someone remains ...

Ah, good to know. I actually do know one person here who plays, and will inquire further. Did you teach at the American Swedish Institute here in Minnesota? (in Minneapolis)@@ogallmo

Yes, I did. My visit was organized by Jerry Revelle, but he sadly passed away two years later. Email me if you want me to dig up some names.

Thanks! There are Swedish bagpipe players in the UK too, but not that many.

​@@ogallmo. Hi Olle, do you know anyone in the UK who can tune these lovely instruments. ? Tak

@@MariaPalmer-xo8eb There are several, but I think the easiest to contact is @NicholasKonradsen

@@ogallmo thank you so much. Regards

Check out Scottish Small Pipes, Noethumbrian, and border pipes.

Sorry to hear about your disability, but Swedish pipes should be better than most then. I like to think that they were made for being played by hard working farmers with big bulky hands. That would explain the scallops around each finger hole, which make the holes very hard to miss even if you cant feel your fingers. Also useful when playing outdoors in very cold weather. Another reason is that, on Swedish pipes, it does not matter much if you play open or closed - if you lift all fingers below the hole, or just the one finger for that hole. Try different fingerings.

I think playing bagpipes were always a bit controversial. They were considered the Devil's instrument, and some people simply didn't like them (or still don't). Maybe you actually honor your ancestors by *not* playing them ... 🙂

Careful with that or you might actually meet your ancestors sooner then you anticipated when a frothing mob with bleeding ears busts down your door during one of your practice-sessions to toss you in the nearest body of water :p

Thanks! "Steklåt" means "steak tune". It was a tune (usually a march) played when the main course was served on wedding feasts.

Yes, Per Löf was a 19th century fiddler, so long before.

Varför dyster? Just denna låt brukade användas som bröllopsmarsch. Inte särskilt dystert för mig. (Associationen moll-ledsen/dur-glad är nog ett ganska sent påfund)

@@ogallmo Ja kanske det men jag har nu bott i Norge i 17 år och har noterat att Nordmannen inte har moll toner i större utsträckning i sin folkmusik eller i sin själ heller för den delen. En smula platt. Svensken har en mer melankolisk och mörkare ådra. Det märks i musiken. Jan Johanssons Jazz på Svenska är ett ganska tydligt exempel. Spelas det på fiol blir det lite mindre tydligt men på säckpipa framträder det så fint. Jag ser det inte som negativt ska väl sägas. Den enkla svenska säckpipan har faktiskt liknande ljudbild som den irländska. Jag spelar inte folkmusik på något instrument så jag vet inte hur de fungerar rent tekniskt men Uilean pipe har ett trämunstycke som en saxofon medan den skotsk bretonska inte har det. har den svenska det kanske? FIn låt. Från Hagfors?

@@mansjohnson4502 Uilleann pipes har samma typ av rörblad som skotsk GHB (dubbelt - som oboen eller fagotten). Svensk säckpipa har enkelt rörblad (som klarinetten).

@@ogallmo Ok. Tack . Nu vet jag. Allt man tror man vet eller gissar.

Sure. Send me an email.

You mean the "Trall" CD with Ulrika Gunnarsson? Just Google it and you will find it. It's on Spotify, for example: open.spotify.com/album/5edb1wSVUOeNuYy4CjVlde

Han har faktiskt ett album på spotify. Om du söker på Olle Gällmo så heter albumet Med pipan i säcken

@@Jennifer-gv7gp jag vet allt det, men har ej hittat denna vackra låt.

@@langskeppet9887 Jaha då förstår jag!

Sounds better than using the larger plumbing for drainage also called a sewage-pipe!

We did indeed have lots of fun, thanks!

In A, as most Swedish bagpipe (the tonic is the 3-finger note, not the 6-finger note). For this recording it was a bit flat, yes. I had played a lot in the preceeding days. Doesn't matter when you play solo.

@@ogallmo Ah, I understand. Now it gives sense. Thank you very much for the explanation. I love the sound. Very close to serbian gajda.

@@robabnawaz Yes, the basic construction is the same. Gajdas usually have a wider bore, though, so they tend to be stronger (and a bit more steady).

@@ogallmo I mosdtly play just the gajdunica, the jajda-flute withour sack as it is easier to control the air and high preasure is needed, but I must say your säckpipa sounds "sweeter"or let's say less aggressive.
