08/06/2020 / / 2 Comments

I am not shocked if you are gigging away with your library computer. They are the ones that are often neglected and use by the blog writers. Now, I think it is time to change. Usually, if you do not move at least an inch forward you are stationary.

Choose your Irish instrument

I do not mean just the Irish drum and other Celtic instruments, I mean to encourage you to carve out a special place for all Irish Instruments. I mean to encourage you to carve out a special place for harps, banjos, whistles.

Find your place in this online world

Once you start your own music, you need some advertising extending some softening request. So the first thing you need is a specialised violins site that will assist you and show you how to get you started, and while you think of what the Instruments you can grow from (because that is a great question to think about), a personalised music e-commerce giving request works daily. Please note: It is possible to have an online web site, with music through Bay area interesting ears, but your budget should he paid off, and you have to be prepared for your own lea more about the deal to my online store. I do not think they are profitable.

Understanding your competion

It simply does not work in today, technology and the desire to make something out of nothing has repetition. Why would anyone pay for hand- struck jewelry, for a live room music gig? It has become a little common that people pay for the server of the way to approach the travelers or even the movers to make sure they take full advantage of the modern musical equipment instruments such as the flutes or the guitars. But it does not matter why you build a site, or what the sites are for, what is sure is that you will have competition, and you will have to be prepared for that.

Research, Engage & Repeat

  • To what musical genre(s), does my music correspond?
  • Does my project have enough strength?
  • Can I communicate easily about my music?
  • What values/emotions do I want to communicate?
  • Do you have music that is targeted at a specific audience?
  • What is the best way to create a visual identity that matches my project?
  • What’s my goal?
  • Understand your audience better

How to buy Accordions

06/06/2020 / / 2 Comments

Accordions has been a bit of a resurgence in popularity lately largely thanks to some bands incorporating folk instruments into their music. Some of us may not be able to find an old accordion in grandma’s attic.

A new entry-level accordion will cost you between $500 and $600. Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as brand, number of buttons, and finishes. Professional models may cost upwards of $15,000.

Piano Accordions

These are the three most popular models, and they can all be purchased through online shops. However, I strongly advocate that you try before buying high-end items like musical instruments. Although Hohner is a popular model and has the highest marks, it might not be for everyone.

INSTRUMENTPrice
Hohner$850
Sofiamari$580
Rossetti$700

Button Accordions

When putting together a price list, it can be difficult to decide on a style and size for the button accordion. The price of buttons can vary greatly in different sizes, so this chart will focus on the most affordable models.

INSTRUMENTPrice
Hohner (Diatonic)$600
Alacran (Diatonic)$650
M.Gerarda (Chromatic)$1800
McNeela(Diatonic)$650

Concertina

They are all similar in sound, but have different button layouts. A player wouldn’t be able to pick up a German model to play if he didn’t know how to play an English concertina.

INSTRUMENTPrice
Hohner (German)$250
Musicians Gear (Anglo)$260
Wren (Anglo)$500
Sparrow (English).$600

Final Thoughts

Before you can even think about the price, you need to be clear on what you are looking for. Consider the following and do your research:

  • What type of music do you want to listen?
  • Accordion and Concertina
  • Piano Style or Button Style
  • Chromatic or Diatonic
  • Bisonoric and Unisonoric

Once you have decided on the items, start looking for brands that offer to buy accordions that match your needs.

Bodhran’s History

The iconic Irish drum the bodhran, is one of a few Celtic instruments that predate Christianity. We are all familiar with Ireland’s rich and deep-rooted musical heritage. What do we know about the distinctive Irish drum?

Although the bodhran drum has been around for thousands of years, its first appearances were in paintings in the early nineteenth century. In contemporary culture, recordings of the drum began to make their way onto the music scene in 1960s.

Many genres use the bodhran, including the one below.

  • Classical music: Maxwell Davies Symphony No. 5
  • Contradance music: Hillbillies, Swallowtails from Mars
  • Folk: John Lionarons Philadelphia, PA
  • Rock: Jim Sutherland and Johnny McDonagh, Cordelia’s Dad
  • Tammerlin: World music

What is the Bodhran Drum?

The bodhran has been a part of Ireland’s culture since its popularity. Modern Irish music now includes the Irish drum. This adds a sense of authenticity to those with strong Irish heritage connections.

How to play a Bodhran ?

There are many ways to play the bodhran drum. A tipper is a small, double-ended drumstick that is used to play the bodhran. The tipper is much smaller than traditional drumsticks and allows the bodhran player to create many musical sounds.

Kerry Style – With the Kerry style, both ends of the tipper’s hand are used. The tipper is held with the dominant hand by the player who holds the drum on one knee. The person can create a stunning sequence of beats by twisting and fluttering their hands.

West Limerick This style uses only one tipper and sounds more like traditional drumsticks.

Hand The hand is used for striking the bodhran. The heel creates a loud beat while the flat of your palm makes soft sounds. With gentle taps and slides as well as hard rapping, the fingers are also in play.

Why I play the bodhran

02/06/2020 / / 2 Comments

Would you like to play the fun-loving sideline skit on the radio in supporting Chris union’s new band – Spvari-tech? On a day when the guys are partying and the song has been playing non-stop at the bar, I play a part. I love it. At the end of the commercial, I’m play-off a cutaway that shows the socially-conscious Death CDs in action.  On the downside, it reminds me of a couple of nights when I had to stage a full MOT equivalent (I don’t want to get into that topic), playing up to the legit part of my abilities.

Although the bodhran is easy to master, some of its hand movements are not so simple. These hand placements and movements help you control the pitch and timber of the instrument, so it is an essential part of learning how it works.

How long did it take you to learn bodhran

The basics were easy to learn in just four hours. But the key is continuing the learning process, emphasis.

Playing with Real People

Find a session near you once you are ready to start playing with other musicians. I went to the session and introduced myself. I have found that most sessions will accept a beginner if he is polite. If it’s a large session, you may not want more than one drummer at once. You may need to lower your volume and reduce the amount of ornamentation at first. This will allow other musicians to hear you clearly and recognize you as a professional. Once I was able to sync in, the beats were at the right pitch and the beats hit the right rhythm.  Playing with other musicians, bodhran takes the gigs to a new level, This is the main reason I chose to go with Bodhran

This is why I chose Best Bodhran.

Few tips for your first gig

  • Warm up before playing.
  • Don’t over-stress your wrist.
  • If you hurt, stop.
