Unboxing and first play of my new Fred Morison Uilleann pipes

[@jimobrien84]

There’s a long history of blind pipers, Garrett Barry for example wrote some of my favorite tunes

[@dannywhelchel4801]

They sound incredible

[@brandontheblinddude5302]

Hey Brandon. I have a channel of uilleann pipes video "lessons" you might find useful. I'm in Clarksville so not a million miles away. Best of luck!

[@brandontheblinddude5302]

Oh that’s awesome. I’ll have to look at it

[@UilleannOslo]

I'd like to know how long you had to wait for your set? Fred gave me a waiting period of 22 weeks, bit later I found through his pages that this time had been exceeded to 26 weeks, and this should about the beginning of July which is right now. So far, I have not heard anything from him, so I¨m a bit worried.

[@brandontheblinddude5302]

I was giving a wait time of up to 220 weeks but it was almost 40 before I actually took delivery

[@UilleannOslo]

I got my Morrison full set after 54 weeks.

[@jimobrien84]

What tune is this?

[@brandontheblinddude5302]

The tune is called Hector the Hero. It’s normally played on Scottish Highland pipes but Fred Morison arranged it for the Uilleann pipes
