It seems to help to have long fingers. Chris's and Jack Lee's fingers are long. Can someone confirm if long fingers is an advantage over short fingers?

[DrFredUilleann]

@NiallatUTube Long fingers are not the cause, but the consequence of playing since children. All musicians have long fingers (look at pianists!)

[NiallatUTube]

This is the sort of piping they don't teach at Plumbing College!

[keydetpiper]

Yeah, I guess he knows a thing or two about piping. I wish my fingers worked like that.

[RoryGarbutt]

Anyone know what the first tune is called?? And is this his rendition or can I find music?

[TheHighlandPiper]

WOW!!!!!!!!

I love his Piping!!!!!!

[SouthernPiper]

That's a seriously 'pimped up' Powder Horn there! Technically brilliant.

[ArgyllPiper90]

they are naills...fact

[Kebyonemate]

ehhh the way he plays donald cameron is cool, but, it sounds better played normally in my opinion

[shadowwarrior03]

This is the best rendition of Donald Cameron's Powder Horn that I have heard.

(I've got my own video of this from when Chris came down to Surrey to give a recital - great playing!)

[Thomasxx2]

and after the "geese in the bog" this is an arrangement of "Donald Cameron´s Powder Horn"

[Thomasxx2]

The secon tune is the Jig, "The Geese in the bog".

I was a student at the school and I'm not sure what kind the pipes were, but I remember him saying that it was a naill chanter.

[jackhawkpiper97]

Either naills or modern hendersons(his most recent set o naills had brass tuning slides)

What is the last tune?

[Blakey6678]

Anyone know what pipes hes playing? They sound like MaCallums

[Blakey6678]

Or Naills more specificaly

[IC2720]

Look like Naills.

[lewisolsson]

That 2nd tune's awesome! Anyone know what it's called?
