@ODoda It's a Border pipe - sounds a bit like a GHB but less loud. the chanter reed can last for years and years because it's not mouthblown - which means that it can be scraped so that you can cross-finger a fully chromatic scale plus B and somtimes C above high A. It can be a finicky beast though....
The Border pipe has probably been around at least as long,as(maybe longer) than the GHB and has its own idiom.
He put a Great Bagpipe Chanter on a Scottish smallpipe? mad genius!!!!!!!!!!

I love to watch this guy play, he's having a blast and it shows. Some say he's too unorthodox but I'm unorthodox too so I love it.
