Anthony D. - Phase 3 - Blackberry Bush
Greetings Anthony!
This is certainly ticking all of the boxes, especially in the posture points. No major dips in your manometer once you got settled in and tuned.
Phase 3 Result: 7/7 Requirements Achieved
Bass drone at 45 degree angle? Yes
Blowpipe in center of mouth? Yes
Chanter position centered? Yes
Squeezing Arm impinged? No
Frantic blowing cadence? No
Blowing Steady? Yes
Drones out of tune (with each other) No
Overall Basic Instrument Operation Comments from Timothy:
Looking back at your video there, I have to say that you look exceptionally comfortable. Neck, wrist, blowstick position, steady blowing cycle... All looks really natural. Hopefully that coincides with how comfortable you feel in this case. I'm hearing only the slightest zinging in your tuning when your blow cycle transitions from arm to bag, and this means that your tuning is within a very acceptable degree of accuracy by what I can hear.
Carl's note: Hi Anthony, just watch out for pulling your drone forward when you are tuning. It changes the sound of the drone. You need to practice tuning with the bass drone firmly resting on your shoulder.
Keep up the great work and see you in phase 4!
Cheers,
Carl
