Description: Finbar Furey - The Slender Promise (2015, Irish Traditional Music Uilleann PIPES & Irish flute CD) DESCRIPTION This album of flute and pipes is one I have meant to do for many years as the last instrumental album I recorded was in 1972. It's music I've always wanted to play on the pipes. It's reaching deeper within the pipes, into the soul of the instrument. It has a depth of feeling which is like a well, no matter how much you drink, it never seems to dry up. The uillean pipes or (píobaí uilleann meaning elbow pipes) are a complex instrument with more notes than any other pipes. As the name suggests they are blown by elbow pumped bellows and are enhanced in tone and sound by regulators and drones playing a harmonising chord accompaniment. The chanter (mine is a Johnny Bourke chanter given to me by Davy Spillane) plays the melody and has the ability to play two octaves using a technique of raising the bottom of the chanter on the knee. They have a quieter and more mellow tone than other pipes and are a chamber instrument rather than a marching one. The flute is one of the first made by Bernard Overton, designed by myself. I always played Clarkes or Generation whistles and also had a beautiful old bamboo flute but wanted to blend the sound of the two into what is now known as the Overton flute or nowadays it's called a 'low whistle'. Bernard and I, over the summer of 1970, designed and manufactured the first of the Overton flutes, now played worldwide and many times copied from this original. – Finbar Track List: The Refugee Connemara The Slender Promise Castaway She Moved Through The Fair Paddy Dear Welch’s Jig The Rocks Of Bawn The Aw De Audi Jig Nearer My God To Thee Miss McCleods Reel Mangans Madness for Roisin PACKAGING ALL OUR ITEMS ARE DISPATCHED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE PURCHASE PLEASE ALLOW THREE TO FIVE WORKING DAYS FOR DELIVERY.
