I made a sound mixer controller for my applications, a while ago.
I’m probably make a V2 with new functionality:
See my other post ..
I’ve took it offline, maybe someone wants the source code and database.
It was much fun, time to move on.
UPDATE: 20230228 – It is online again.
(I’ve got some mails and mentions in music forums)
https://pipetunesearch.henriaanstoot.nl/
At least i’ve got some nice reactions
I’ve create my own bww/bwm to parsons code convertor.
Rest of the website is php, mysql … first one started in 2001 using php3, until php7.
PARSONS CODE: OMG, you don’t know how long I have been waiting for a search engine to find tunes in my head. I thought about creating some kind of dictionary based on theme notes, or searching through bww files for sequences. What a thrill to find your site. I just hum a tune, use the up, down, repeat letters and… like magic the title is found. You are a genius. I will never be stumped for a title again. Thanks so much, John
Other successes i’ve heard of are: 2 Youtube movies being identified, a nameless bww file and mp3’s
Mail from Dave:
Hiya
My name is Dave Mason. I put a few tunes together a few years ago called "Tummle Yer Wilkies" which, I see, gets mention on your website. However, I see that you're not sure where people can access the tunes.
Well, the book is free to download from https://sites.google.com/site/tummleyerwilkies/home and I hope to have volume 2, "Tummle Yer Wilkies Too!" uploaded in the near future.
Cheers

One of the first attempts to do some augmented reality.
Tried to display note buttons realtime on a instrument.
I’m using a image on a screen due to the lighting, i was unable to test my real instrument with the light i had when testing.
Design for a 2 persons flute. Still working on it.
I have to recalculate some stuff, to get the finger distances in a better position.
Plan is to 3D print this first to test. Then make it in wood or metal.
We both got a smallpipe, so there are 2 chanters in the house.
I designed a 3D adaptor for two chanters, and 3D printed this.
Taping the bottom part of one of the chanters and a part of the other, gave me the possibillity to play harmony’s.
There are only a few tunes which are suitable for playing like this.
Blender model
UPDATE: 7 Jan 2023 – Another repair
15 Feb of this year my Concertina was deliverd on my doorstep.
It is a Wren 2 Anglo C/G Concertina by McNeela. A affordable good instrument.
Features
The word concertina refers to a family of hand-held bellows-driven free reed instruments constructed according to various systems, which differ in terms of keyboard layout, and whether individual buttons (keys) produce the same (unisonoric) or different (bisonoric) notes with changes in the direction of air pressure.
It is weird playing two notes with the same button, but i gives you a broader tonal range. Some notes are double, one on the pull action and one on the push action. When playing for a while it is possible to switch between those two to be able to play faster.
Because you can use the same pull or push as you already where playing, or the button is close by the one you already play.
So i had a little problem with the pull motion of the right hand A’ B’.
I didn’t want to send my Concertina back (Still has garantee, i know)
But sending it back to Ireland will take a while and has postal costs.
(I’ve fixed my Accordeon also, so why not try to fix it myself?)
(… aaand i was curious of the insides )
I had to look at the inner workings for a minute, and finding the right reed.
The middle picture above shows a white plastic strip, one of them was stuck. Moving it a little and carefully bending it, got it free and moveable again.
On with the lessons from Caitlin Nic Gabhann again!

2023 Repair:
One of the reeds fell off! It was not glued properly. A 5 minute fix!
Today newest addition Concertina

UPDATE: 20230320 new version
My first version of the Bluetooth page turner.
This was made using an Arduino and some buttons.
I’m using Fbreader and Ebookdroid on the tablet.
Code:
Note: Volume buttons work for both apps, if you want to use other keys, you need to put a keymap.xml file in your fbreader books directory on your android device to remap those!
#include <BleKeyboard.h>
#define RIGHT_TURN 4
#define LEFT_TURN 5
BleKeyboard bleKeyboard("fashpageturner", "Bluetooth Device Manufacturer", 100);
void setup() {
bleKeyboard.begin();
pinMode(LEFT_TURN, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(RIGHT_TURN, INPUT_PULLUP);
}
void loop() {
if (bleKeyboard.isConnected() && !digitalRead(RIGHT_TURN)) {
bleKeyboard.press(KEY_MEDIA_VOLUME_UP);
delay (100);
bleKeyboard.releaseAll();
}
if (bleKeyboard.isConnected() && !digitalRead(LEFT_TURN)) {
bleKeyboard.press(KEY_MEDIA_VOLUME_DOWN);
delay (100);
bleKeyboard.releaseAll();
}
}
NEW Version
Playing two chanters at the same time.
Made a bagpipe octopus
I think it was Burns Night 2005. We took one pipebag, took the drones out. And added one blowpipe and three chanters.
We were struggling to play the damn beast with 4 people.
A picture should exist somewhere, add it when found.
Smallpipe adaptor for two chanters.
Xmas tree lights in the drones
I’ve seen some do this, but never with xmas balls also.
Playing the THX sound
Alternative playing
Above in the movie with two chanter you can see tape.
You can tape other notes, for accidentals.
I’ve started a set with our folkband with my hands reversed.
(Left on the bottom part of the chanter, right hand toppart)
After playing amazing grace, I switched hands every few bars.
Playing high A gracenote with tophand index finger.
Play a tune and slide bottomhand over your top hand down.
Tape or block the bottom sound holes.
Playing with the holes on the inside
