  • What's the key of the pipes?

  • @dikasad I believe they're in D. Very close spacing on the sound holes.

  • VERY NICE

  • Hello, I want to learn to begin the smallpipes before I re-enlist in the CAC, so I can show my buddies a song or two, but I have a few questions.

    How do you get air into the bag itself? Is it like playing the bagpipes?

  • @Litterboxer529 These particular pipes are bellows blown. He's got a bellows under his right arm which forces air into the bag under his left.

  • What did he say the tune (tunes?) was (were?) called?? Kilworth Hills???

  • What did he say the tune (tunes?) was (were?) called??

  • Bagpipes are amazing. I'm part Italian,can't stand Pavoratti etc. Swedish grandfather played the violin, (hate violins) would MUCH rather listen to bagpipes FOREVER! Thank you for the unique music.

  • Great!

  • Thank you for this. I am a SgtMajor in a re-constituted HIghland Regiment (78th). We recently lost our dear Laird Commander and this tune was played as we carried him to the celestial lodge. Brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much.

  • Is this the Gary West who did Pipeline? I loved that program but I don't think it's on anymore.

  • Yep, same Gary West....and Pipeline is still on.

  • @piperjosh3190 Pipeline is alive and well. I listen to it every week. Have a good week ahead, and please do enjoy your piping. ;-)

  • Gary is the man

  • i absolutely love the small pipe in D! Sounds soooooo good!! Thank you so much for the upload!

  • Well done Gary! You looked very comfortable belting out a really nice tune. Let me know when you are touring the US. Maybe ill just go to your website. Nice job.

  • these are border pipes..a mosern version

  • No. They are Scottish smallpipes.

  • the sound is great

  • Is that same Gary West from the BBC Radio Scotland ? Nice sounding SSP's.

  • Yes (and yes)

  • YES IT IS HE

  • man u guys know alot about wierd instruments. i only watched this cos my surname is kilworth

  • Alright, that is what I was thinking. yeah, as I said, my friend has a set of walsh pipes. thanks for that bagpipediscs.

    ~~Mata~~

  • yeah Sax, easy mistake. I made that once myself, they make much the same sound.  But if I am right, IF...

    These would be shuttle pipes, but probably not Walsh cause the drones are different. And these also have a much more limited scale, much like the GHB (Great Highland Bagpipe), which is only 9 notes, as opposed to the Uilleann pipes which can play 2 octaves I think, if my memory serves me right. If I am wrong in any of these, please correct me. Thank you.

    Slainte

  • Scottish smallpipes, not shuttle pipes which have their drones in a single wooden cylinder. This set was made by Hamish Moore. Scottish smallpipes have three drones in a single stock.

  • these are irish bagpipes

  • No, they are Scottish smallpipes. See my Jerry O'Sullivan video to see Irish pipes.

  • is that how u play small pipes? dont the drones go ovr your shoulder? and the mouthpiece in ur mouth?

  • Nope, smallpipes are different. Drones go in front of you, and on most of them you don't blow, instead his right arm has a bellows he pumps to give it air.

  • Lovely, could you put more videos of reels, strathpeys, jigs.... Thank you.
