Sharing the bagpipe between Scotland and Brittany – Carhaix

If Scottish luthier specializes in making bagpipes

In B flat – the most widespread in the world – they do not, on the other hand, contain the same information in the field of bagpipes in C, which is dedicated to some performances of Breton music. For this reason, the Scottish John Elliott, one of the greatest luthiers in the world, proposed to Cedric le Bozek, one of the greatest Breton pipers, to combine his talents to make a pipe suitable for the bagpipe in c. The bell-ringer’s son, Bretton, was stunned by these sounds, and his ear feels just as clever as his play knows how to reproduce his subtleties. The Chalumeau, or “chanter” (pronounced singer) in the Levirad in Scottish or Breton, is part of the bagpipe on which the Scottish piper or “piper” (pronounced straw-der) plays the melody of melody.

Same passion

The adventure began on a fine day in 2018, when John mailed a prototype of the Sea Torch to Breton. “After opening it, I tested and re-tested it, re-drilled some holes, made them oval, rounded them, filled them … each time measuring, recording, photographing, filming, recording frequencies , Makes notes, positions, shapes and holes… and I sent it back ”. Cedric’s work attracts Luthier.

Inspired by the same passion, the two men quickly become friends and decide to work in parallel on the design and construction of another Chalumo, which is also dedicated to Baghdad music, this time in B flat! The device is refined and the chrysalis spreads its wings. Cedric goes back and forth to John’s Kirkaldy in Scotland. For John, in turn, he comes to play in Baghdad of Borbreek (22) who develops into the first category and has Cedric Penn Sonner.
