But in Dalmacija and where i come from Hercegovina we have other bagpipe called: Diple, they are totally different from this

[tibaramov]

Bravo bre bratja! Pozdrav za vsički hrvati ot Bulgarija i nasluka!

[lmhitar]

Amazing! Proving that bagpipees came from ancient Balcans!

[pipersmitty87]

Chills every time

[pipersmitty87]

Hands down the best piping video in my opinion on you tube -including mine.

[raonipaes]

I like the way it sounds.

Although very slavic, resembles the sound of a Swedish säckpipa.

[putzmeister1989]

@raonipaes that's beause of the single reeds and the cylindrical bore-- the double bored chanter sounds like a second drone, which has the same basic tone as the chanter. the drone of a swedish säckpipa sounds like the chanter's basic tone, too. That's why it sounds similar to a säckpipa..

[raonipaes]

@putzmeister1989

Good explanation.

I noticed also that the holes of the chanter are scalloped just like the Säckpipa's chanter.

Well, I've heard that many Varangians, which were Vikings from Sweden came to eastern Europe in ancient times; maybe that is the connection between both.

[Lobonsky]

what can i say...blown away.....!

[TheMascheParpaje]

Great!!! :)

[thelonepiper555]

One of the very best piping performances I've ever heard. Quite a treat, thank you for sharing!!!

[blowinbamboo]

great sound from those pipes.. ive never seen or heard this type of bagpipe before thanks for sharing this

[ClemP]

Great music! The pipes are much like the Greek pipes, but the music sounds very different. I like this a LOT.

[thelonepiper555]

I'm experiencing sensory overload... This is awesome.

[velebit108]

majstor...!

[apologeticsman]

better than most ethnic bagpipes I have heard

[mbubrik]

IMÁDOM!!!!

[nemethmik]

That means in Hungarian: I love this music.

[soyinka21]

I live in Baranya (Hungary) and this music is very beautiful

[tamburaspieler]

Really fast fingering and great sound :-)

[fenevadka]

Only someone who's never tried playing bellows-blown pipes would make that statement...

[CantwrCymreig]

Sounds a lot like the gaita of northern Spain. The bellows attachment is like that of the Irish uillean pipes -- improves the life of the bag, since one is not blowing damp air from the lungs into it.

[janicat76]

Wow this pipes have a beautiful sound!

[Thedoctor19000]

Simply alluring. [:)]

[pipersmitty87]

Please make me one?

[pipersmitty87]

I heard this tune before ..is it a national tune?

[GreenLantern1916]

Wow!

[QUOTHLOVE]

[DaliVincristine]

moc pekne....

[BurningWolfes]

voll geil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

[katobusa64]

haunting and hypnotic

[J2OLDS]

Hypnotizing!

[sebenik1066]

Koliko koštaju ove gajde?

[mettijesnthebernt]

Does Andor have a wed site?

[nemethmik]

No.

[spettro9]

this sounds and kind of looks like the pipes that were in the movie "Amadeus" when they are watching the first vaudeville....

there was a group of pipers that came onto the stage, and played pipes with bellows and drones hanging over the shoulder, and a sound kind of like this...

anyone know?

[pipersmitty87]

I think I listen to this about a hundred times and I still love it. Thank you for showing us all.

[BagPiperGlennPryor]

Balkan bagpipes are amazing and quite varied. The player here is wonderful. Thank you.

[nemethmik]

Thank You for the comment. To be precise, this type of bagpipes belongs to the group of double-bore chanter bagpipes of the Carpathian region. These types of bagpipes were used only within the Hungarian Kingdom (896 - 1921) which was the homeland of a number of nations including Croatians for about 800 years.

[tridentchewintrick]

awesome!! thanks for sharing!

[jonopart]

AAAAAAAmazing!!! what the name of the that tune.incredible, carry on my friend!!Happy piper ftom u s a.

[pipersmitty87]

what would a set like this cost? Im assuming the  stocks have to be custom fit to the sheepskin...

[nemethmik]

About 1200 USD

[sacredsong]

that's actually less then i thought, wow.

[TheShield04]

nice melody!

[pipersmitty87]

reminds me of ren. fairs. Very pleasant and well balanced.

[pipersmitty87]

great. How much more diffclt to play than highland?

[nemethmik]

It is not more difficult at all; it is different, though. Using the bottom hand ring finger to play a steady accompaniment requires a lot of practice at first. Secondly, the heavy staccato playing requires a similar fingering as Northumbrian piping.

[Dreoilin]

very cool, have ya seen the welsh bag horn pipe? The chanter comes off and converts into a pibgorn.

[noisybag]

beautiful playing

[Gambrinus75]

AWESOME!!!

[MfaenD]

i had no clue that there was such a thing as croatian bagpipe music

but its pretty awesome

[Gajdasi]

Is there noone who can play the gajde like this dude...maybe Richard Patkos or Stjepan Veckovic... excelent playing, but i still think that traditional blowing is the way to go, even if the bag dries out quicker!

[corydale]

the bag wont dry out quicker if you are blowing into it. you are blowing hot and humid air into it. therefore the bag will get wet if you blow into it. bellows blowen sets have specialy prep'd skins that dont need moisture to stay soft

[Gajdasi]

Sorry cory, (he he...that rhymes)u are right.

Oh...u know what happened to my new bag when i put it through quarentine?...It dried out...it took half a bottle of scentless moisturiser and 3 hours to make it half flexible again. I hate quarentine now...they cost me $175 on the new bag (+$60 for treatment)...and its only useful for 6 more months untill its starts to decompose because it lacked natural processes. Oh well...now i know!

since going to croatia, I have obtained notes for you and me!
