Well done, Reece. Your grandfather is obviously a great teacher. He must be very proud of you. Keep up the good work.

Best Wishes from Scotland

@u112279 Thank-you!

Bravo! Nicely done young man. When did you start on the practice chanter? I'd like to get my oldest son going, but his fingers can't quite span the fingerholes on the child-size PC (he's 5 years old).

@RainyDayPiper don't know about Reece but 7 yrs is the age that the majority of young pipers I know start on the chanter but they do start younger. Hope that helps

Thank-you! I started on the chanter when I was six (when my fingers were long enough). My grandfather started with my top hand because they are easier to reach. A good book to order to learn is "A Bagpipe Tutor" by Scott Williams. I went through the whole thing and so has my sister. It's a bagpipe tutor for children - you can order it on the internet by plugging in Scott Williams Publishing. Good luck! Hope this helps!
