Very well said Johnny, I apologize for not providing your name in the video description. I have just edited the info and your name is now visible. Also I love any type of unique talent and when I saw you play downtown I thought it was quite interesting and something you don't see everyday which is why I wanted to film it.
G'day there, loyal hecklers! Johnny Rae here, the Piper, in the fim! It is unfortunate that I was caught on film trying to break in a brand new reed! The second hardest reed available, in fact! On pipes with a leaky bag! As for madpipertn's comment about those being "Pakastani Pipes", for your information, they were a set of 1932(R.I.P. 1932-2009!) Henderson's, that were set up by a butcher! As for the quality of my playing, I would challenge anyone, to do better under the same circumstances!
As for the leaky Pipe Bag, it was not my fault, but the fault of the previous owner! Being Financially challenged, I didn't have over $200, for a replacement! It is extremely unfortunate, that you weren't able to hear me play those pipes, after I had stopped the leak and broken in the reed! I am a Grade 5 Piper, I never claimed to be anything else!

Breaking in a a new reed, been there done that. Pipes with a leaky bag? Well that's no one's fault but your own.
I accept your challenge and I do believe that there's an adequate sampling of far superior pipers available on youtube.
