I hope this finds you all well and excited to get back to a more normal lifestyle. We are excited as we will finally get to meet in person for our Annual Meeting and Gathering of the Clans in August and hope you all make an effort to come. We haven't seen you all in over a year and a half and we are looking forward to your smiling faces and a chance to talk with all of you. Covid-19 has been rough on all of us; it has been a horrible year plus. But the officers of the Society have been meeting on a regular basis trying hard to keep the Society going. Now it is your turn to come and get involved once again. After all, a Society is not a society if we don't gather! Make sure to mark your calendar for August 7th, put on your best Tartan and we will see you then.

  • February 2007 Newsletter
    Welcome to Vibrationdata Acoustics • Shock • Vibration • Signal Processing February 2007 Newsletter Greetings Feature Articles I encourage everyone to research his family history and to draw strength from his heritage, particularly in the face of adversity. Although my ancestors came to America from a number of European nations, my family name comes from Scotland. Clan Irvine is a lowland Scottish clan. The clan’s motto is: Sub sole sub umbra virens. This is a Latin phrase for “Flourishing in the sun and in the shade.” This month I pay honor to my Scottish ancestors via two articles on bagpipe music. The bagpipes are not exclusively Scottish, however. Historically, people throughout many regions of the world enjoyed bagpipe music. The Italian Zampognari, for example, continue this tradition. Sincerely, Bagpipe History page 2 Bagpipe Acoustics page 9 Tom Irvine Email: [email protected] The photo is of professional bagpiper Ken Smith. 1 Bagpipe History by Tom Irvine carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the manmade sound never equaled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig. On the other hand, a piper’s rendition of “Amazing Grace” or “Scotland the Brave” can stir the soul of some listeners, bringing tears to their eyes. Bagpipes throughout the World The bagpipe is commonly associated with music from the British Isles, particularly with the Celts of Scotland. The bagpipe originated, however, in the Middle East, some four thousand years ago, perhaps among shepherds who had ready access to the animal skins from which the bag was made. Figure 1. Uilleann Pipes A myriad of folk bagpipe instruments have Uilleann Pipes are a bellows-blown bagpipe.
