Heh, seems we have commong friends! I sure do, he's a very good piper I think - we've seen each other few times and he showed me some great stuff (however, I still don't get how to make tight triplets sound so good - guess it's still in the speed of fingers).
Yeah, you go!! This is a good start :P Do you also want to have drones?? Cause if you do, here's a tip for improving: first of all, try to play tunes you can't easily play and those tunes that drive you completely insane :p,
and second, try playing along with a keyboard drone (ahum.. a stone on a note with a book on top does the trick) The tuning on a keyboard is a bit higher, but it is good practise to keep in tune while playing..
Is this a Marc van Daal chanter? When did you get it?

It is indeed. I got it some 2-3 months ago. Why?

I am happy that I can recognize a van Daal chanter. I have one me myself; we are in the same club :) Do you know Dan Valis?

Good luck and keep it up!

Thanks :-)
Yeah, I'm planning drones (however, only when I get better :-)).
Well, I have no keyboard, though some computer-generated drones could do the job. Thanks for the tip, it sounds like it could help.
