The workshop that I will be attending (Filippo Gambetta on diatonic accordeon) is already full, but there are still spots in workshops for #hurdygurdy #nickelharpa and #bagpipe . In april in Sint Michielsgestel in the Netherland. Highly recommended! :~)

Estonian musician Olev Roomet, born OTD in 1901, became interested in the torupill (or Estonian #bagpipe) in his 50s; for a while he was the only living player of that instrument https://cromwell-intl.com/travel/estonia/?s=mb #travel #Estonia #music

This year, I submitted a proposal for a new bagpipe emoji to the Unicode Consortium. Unfortunately, it didn’t make the cut. Maybe next time!

#unicode #bagpipe #gaita #emoji

Screenshot of the rejection email from the Unicode Consortium.

"Dear Xurxo Adrián Entenza,

Thank you for submitting an emoji proposal for Bagpipe. We appreciate all of the effort that went into the preparation.

Each year, the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee receives far more emoji proposals than the very limited number that can be encoded. We are sorry to inform you that your proposal was not among those selected to move forward.

As a small, volunteer-run nonprofit we can't provide individualized feedback on each proposal. We understand this may come as a disappointment.

Thank you again for taking the time to contribute to the Unicode Standard.

Respectfully, The Unicode Emoiji Standard & Research Working Group"

Brought on my my recent reading, I wanted to remind y’all that Dave Shepherd’s “Rose of Raby” is an excellent tune and sounds lovely on the smallpipes. I’ve even played it on my own hummelchen recently!
Anyone else have a folk tune to share this #TuneswapTuesday ?

DE: Blick in eine Spielpfeife einer deutschen Sackpfeife. Blaues und rotes Licht von draußen dringt wie Schlaglicht durch die Spiellöcher in die Spielpfeife und erzeugt so farbige Kreise, die den Tunneleffekt betonen. Am Ende lässt sich das Rohrblatt erahnen. EN: View into the chanter of a German bagpipe. Blue and red light from outside shines through the finger holes into the chanter like spotlighting, creating coloured circles that emphasise the tunnel effect. At the end, you can see the reed.

DE: Sehr dunkle Aufnahme einer deutschen Dudelsack-Spielpfeife. Diese ist von innen gelb-orange ausgeleuchtet und durch die dunkle Umgebung sieht man so nur das Licht durch die Spiellöcher scheinen. EN: Very dark photograph of a German bagpipe chanter. It is illuminated from the inside in yellow-orange, and due to the dark surroundings, only the light shining through the finger holes is visible.

I wonder what the song played by the piper in the clips drowning out the US president was?

Is it a choice song perhaps?

🧵3/ A lot of folks don’t realize that some of the best #pipers in the world are from Spain, uh-huh. Galicia to be precise - where a majority of the population is descended from early Celtic tribes. So yeah, some great #Bagpipe players, like Hevia, Carlos Nunez and Susana. Here’s Susana, Spain’s top female piper imo. #CelticMusic #Music #MusicVideo #WeekendVibes https://youtu.be/-vUhPkGYuj8?si=465fXADdyxkhXOj-
