Not bad, Is that a Ross, I think I have the same one.I think the tune sounds better when you put a little more emphasis on the 1st beat of the bar, especially in the 3/4 parts. Oh and wheres your high a gracenote... :)

[jackhawkpiper97]

Can the Ross electronic pipes play in different keys?

[Suisei]

I wanna play the bagpipes xD

[00MORDRED]

cool chanter...gotta get me one of those things..

love the tune aswell

5*****

[lchaddock]

Excellent playing!

[menyazovutetoby]

your birls are really odd and top hand fingers are almost using the finger tips, never seen technique like that but it still sounds great

[Duhnata]

@menyazovutetoby from what I understand on the electronic pipes technique doesn't actually count for much. The holes are either all the way open or all the way closed, it doesn't register misfingerings. But thats just how I understand it, I don't actually own one and have never played one.

[menyazovutetoby]

@Duhnata but if you ever tried to play on the real pipes with that technique it would sound sh*t

[NovaScotianPiper]

@Duhnata ...Oh the electronic pipes sure do register the misfingerings even mor so than the real chanter just due to the fact it is either an on or off sound which makes it even more prone to letting you hear your mistakes. I have the Deger Mark 2 electronic pipes and think they are awesome...its honestly one of the best things i ever bought..you can learn a new tune and make as many mistakes in the headphones as you want without anyone hearing until you have it perfected...lol

[fdnypiper]

It's in the Scots Guard Book,

[TDuckman]

What kind of electronic bagpipe is that? It looks like the one made by Ross.

[tubelubeTU]

sheet music for this tune is also availble in Aly Bain, 50 Fiddle Solos and in Winston Fitzgerald, A Collection of Fiddle Tunes :)

[jreinke4]

[ajvin241]

dude can you please play the sad theme on the braveheart for me? please i wann hear that using bagpipes la..

(note:im not a stoner)

[askmrlizard]

It can't be played on the highland bagpipe. Look for an uilleann (irish bagpipe) piper to play it.

[UnkilGed]

aslmrlizard

Of course it can be played on the Great highland Bagpipes, check out this link on U-Tube
