i just started pipes still don't have all the drones going only the outside. Only know a few marching tunes + amazing grace. This is the kinda stuff I wanna be able to do its so cool!
That's awesome. Where did you learn to play the bagpipes? Also, were did you get your bagpipe? What's the best kind for beginners and where should I get it? (You can probably tell I want to learn to play the pipes).
@ffiirrobbiic To learn I recommend finding a teacher, which can take a bit to get into. As for getting bagpipes you again usually want a teacher to help you because they would know good hook ups with older bag pipes. The wood used for pipes needs to be aged for a long time before it can be played without a chance of cracking, which is why you need older pipes. As a beginner look into getting a practice chanter, which is like the pipes in notes and fingerings just smaller cheaper and easier :D
Hey there!! Nice piping. I sent you an email on this site about how your practice chanter is so cool sounding and I wished to get similar tones out of my chanter.
You said you had some 'secrets' to share about this on another video in the comments section.
Brilliant. I was surprised to learn you live here in California!
I especially like the expression in your face, eyes and the little movements of your head as you play, you seem really into it unlike many pipers who are expressionless as they play. You're one with the pipes, and it comes off great.
congratulations from Hungary
