  • I had Greg as my MSR (March/Strathspey/Reel) instructor at the NAAP. He's a cool guy!

  • Hi Greg. I have a question on keeping 3 sets of pipes. I have one and if I do not play it for one or two days it is not as ready to play as lbefore and it is progressive. Now I think of getting another set and I am confused a bit how to keep them all in order. And I look after my pipes very much and keep it in the hard case, far off heaters and sun rays at t=22C. Best Regards. Alexander. P.S. I have been practicing GHB for 3 years. May be if I practice it as long as you it is not a problem.

  • @sirsteven88 this is also how they play for solo competitions in front of a judge.

  • i love your reeds. (just got one the other day...nice broad sound)

  • @sirsteven88 It's to keep time. Each foot-fall is a beat.

  • Can anyone tell me why pipers do that wee march thingy. My assumption is that it is from Highland Pipes being a marshall instrument but I am curious as to whether there is another traditional explanation for it I have to be honest it kinda peeves me I can understand if you were on duty and paying tribute then it's awesome but I see all these guys just showing some feature on their pipes in a t shirt and shorts then trying to act all rigid and militant in the most indistinguished garb available

  • thats my teacher!

    he brought his pipes into school day to honor our veterans and he played and boy was he good!

    also he's the best teacher i got, no offence to the others, and he is an awesome piper and teacher!
