How in the hell do you mic a bagpipe???

You don't need any sound reinforcement with the highland pipes. I have an annual gig mixing monitors for the mainstage of a 3 day Irish Music Festival, & I've noticed an awful lot of what can I suppose best be described as GenX Irish Rock Bands...twenty-something-yearold guys with an equal respect for traditional Irish folk music & post-Nirvana grunge rock. Typical instrumentation is electric guitar, electric bass, drumkit, plus 2 or 3 guys on the more traditional instruments: button accordion, fiddle, mandola, Uilleann pipes, Highland pipes, banjo, etc. When the SVT & the blackface Twin get crankin' you'd better believe the Highland pipes need some help. If I'm lucky, the guy's already got some kinda mic already attached/installed (...not that the audience listening to close-miked pipes is particularly lucky). Otherwise I park an SM58 on a tall boom & let the player stand wherever he wants. I have not see any good way of miking the Uilleann pipes for PA. Most folks put a single mike between the performer's legs, pointed up, and this does not work worth a damn. I usually put a pair of dynamic mics on short boom stands on either side of the piper, parallel to the floor facing inwards maybe 8" from the chair. Most of the players will then grab them and move them to taste, but even if they don't the results sound good & they don't feedback into the wedges. /Bob Ross |

... Like the old joke: Why do bagpipe players walk around as they play? To try and get away from the noise. That isn't it. It is because a moving target is much harder to hit. d What's the definition of a gentleman? Someone who CAN play the bagpipes but DOESN'T Or "definition of optimist" - a bagpipe player with a beeper. |
