Swedish bagpipes: Säckpipslåt efter Jont Lars Olsson

[termometen]

the bagpipe i not origionaly (can't spell, sorry) from Scotland but from the orients. It came to Sweden about the same time it came to Scotland (16th centuary)

This is the last thing you hear... before the vikings are upon you.

[Dagvalda]

@Ditch2012 vikings are just trying to be celts... they have done all throughout their history :P

[ogallmo]

@Dagvalda Actually, most evidence of cultural influence between the two point in the other direction. As for bagpipes, there is hardly any relation at all (in either direction). Swedish bagpipes are east-european in their construction.

@Ditch2012 didnt seem to work against the Scots lol

[maarhoefe]

@viper90988 thats becus the GHB pipe of the scots was so loud the vikings couldnt even hear their own warcry xD

[ogallmo]

@maarhoefe Not a problem. The GHB didn't exist then.

[maarhoefe]

@ogallmo i know but i felt like making a joke abouth it. iam alot into the history of these 2 instruments and early warfare as well

[viper90988]

@maarhoefe true dat! lol

Kan inte påstå att jag kände till den svenska säckpipan förrän ganska nyligt... och först nu får man höra hur den låter också... alltid lär man sig något nytt :-)

[Offtofott]

I like this music. Really nice sound.

[ogallmo]

Thanks! Bad sound and video quality, though. It was shot with a plain pocket camera under bad lighting conditions (obviously).

[skookumturtle]

is it just me or does this song sound similar to the introduction on Folque's song "Sæterreise"?

[AleXzorZ]

There are small similarities, but "Sæterreise" is originally a song/melody from Gudbrandsdalen called "Markje Gronast" :)

[marcusamarrious]

i adore this song

[nowotnik]

Hey Olle! Thx god you started posting your videos! Since I started playing Sackpipa your website guide took me through darkest time with my bagpipe. Also I just started playing that tune too :) so feel free to visit my videos and leave some precious criticism :)

[SvitjodsJarl]

So damn much better then the celtic one!

[smedaas]

Agree, brother!

[resto776]

not in a million years

type in either:

ryan canning, roddy macleod, chris armstrong, jack lee, alex gandy, jim mcgillivray, simon fraser university pipe band, field marshal montgomery pipe band, shotts and dykehead pipe band, etc.

at least the "celtic one" sounds like music

swedish people dont even like this shit
