Can you comment on how/why you chose Sinclair bagpipes over other makers? I am about to purchase my first set of pipes and am browsing through YouTube to get a listen to the various manufacturer's sounds to whittle down my choices, then I need to consider as well. But first things first, I've gotta like the sound and you definitely sound great.
@GPBAMB Well I actually didn't pick out these pipes, they were a present from my father. He picked them out for me by the recommendation of an old gentleman, Angus MacDonald, who ran a bagpipe shop nearby where I used to live. There are a decent amount of good pipe makers out there, but I guess I would have to recommend these for the same reason Mr MacDonald did: they are very well crafted bagpipes handmade in Edinburgh. They're made of the finest materials and they have a very fine, sweet tone.
I'm not really into bagpipes but I really love this piece. And getting someone who doesn't really enjoy bagpipes to like it is a big deal in my opinion :)
V Good! The pipes are huge! you must really struggling to reach the top of the chanter and fit your left arm round the bag, which explains why the chanter is pulled right towards you, get the same make of pipes, but a size smaller, with a medium or small bag, and you wont have to worry about it, excellent playing!
Nice gothic setting....happy tunes though. Still friggin kicks arse! Tight ass piper fo sho. The mnore I watch it I feel like I'm dreaming because the edges of the frame are a wee bit blurry. Looks like a living photo!! Nice work!
WOW!!! I just started lessons about 2 1/2 years ago, just got on my pipes 2 days ago! I can only hope to one day be this good!!! great job, Ive watched MANY videos on here, and this is the first one i have commented on!!!!! awsome!
Thanks man. Well, I used to practice about 4 hours a day. I've always wanted to compete, but I've never found the time to do so. But I do sorta play in a Grade 2 band called Kenmure. I say "sorta" 'cause I haven't gone to a practice in months, but that's because my parents don't feel like driving me an hour and a half every sunday morning. Once I get my license though, I'll be more than just "sorta" in Kenmure.
I've been playing about 3 years. One of these days I'm gonna make another video 'cause I've come along way in bagpiping since I made this one.
Awesome man! Goodluck with the lessons.
McCollum Pipes...I'm not exactly sure. Bagpipe brands have such similar names that it can get kinda confusing. I thought you said McCallum pipes at first. I have a McCallum chanter which is pretty nice. I think my bagpipe instructer has a McCollum chanter if I'm not mistaken, so it's probably good.
I'm not quite sure what they're all called 'cause all save one of them I learned by ear. The second tune is called Walking the Floor and the fourth tune is called Mason's Apron.
good choice, it was my grandmothers family who were the Sinclairs and made the bagpipes. They had a shop in Leith Edinburgh.
