[natedog2004]

can you tell me how he gets the natural key of f into his pipes when closing his legs ?!?!?!?

[PeterPiper86]

He covers the vent holes (the ones producing the low G sound) on both sides of the chanter with his thighs. Tried it but the sound wasn't really good ;)

[natedog2004]

[reginapiper]

Never too late or too old. Am currently teaching an 82 year old. Go for it.

I wish I could multitask like at 0:49!! Woah. :P He probably practiced that. ;)

[piper25884893]

That's so cool

[scouse22]

Anyone know what the second tune is?

[chops9286]

The second tune is Cutting Bracken

[PeterPiper86]

Flawless piping as always by Stuart Liddell! Wonder what's the title of the last tune with all this note bending?

[reginapiper]

The last tune is "The Galtee Rangers" and it's in Bill Livingstone's Book 1. The tune was played a lot by Bruce Gandy in the 80s when he was with the 78th Frasers. I think it's on the "Live in Ireland" CD.
